Default Egypt 'freezes assets' of Muslim Brotherhood leaders

Perhaps there is more to the madness in Egypt than some of us were aware of?

Quote:
Egypt's public prosecutor has frozen the assets of 14 Islamist leaders, according to judicial sources.
The Muslim Brotherhood head Mohammed Badie and his deputy Khairat al-Shater are reported to be among them.
Mr Badie and other Brotherhood figures are already the subject of arrest warrants, while the ousted President Mohammed Morsi remains in custody.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer group of guys! But now reports are coming out that the Brotherhood might be fracturing into individual groups, which on one hand might be good, but on the other hand, will be harder to control. Especially the violent ones. Going to be a long hot summer over there!

Summer? They are formally around as an organised gang since almost 90 years. Earlier pre-evolutionary groups that condensated in the MB were around since much longer. Clerics to whom Mursi was obedient called for the assassination of critics in Egypt as well as in other coutnries, amongst them critics now living in Germany.

And since as long as they have been there, they are making trouble, trouble, trouble, always having their hands in revolts, assassinations, murder, and attempts to establish a religious dictatorship based on the Quran and Sharia. One cannot crack down hard enough on such rabid dogs. The military leaders in Egypt understood that. But some only learned it the hard way.

I wish that in 1933 the Reichswehr, as weak as it may have been, would have cracked down as hard on the Nazis as possible, no matter what with democratic niceties, to hell with parliamentary subtleties. If successful, it would have saved the world a whole lot of troubles and sufferings - and if failing, it could not have gotten any worse than it actually did even without trying to destroy the Nazis while they still were forming up.

But if you translate present behaviour over the MB in Egypt, and the Arab Spring, and several Arab -Muslim terror organisations like Hamas and Hezbollah, today's politicians would demand to give the Nazis a fair chance to compete for votes and "not to radicalize" them by excluding them from power.

History goes in circles, again and again and again.

I was referring to the possibility of more violence this summer, instead of a peaceful one. I realize the Brotherhood's mode of operation is trouble, and always has been.
