With 75 percent of Egyptian telling Pew polling that they support the goals of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Brothers are making maximum push to capture a majority of seats in parliament. If they gain only one-third they will have enough to block any legislation unaligned with their agenda.
As I will point out in the Knoxville News-Sentinel's "Perspective" section tomorrow, bin Laden's death bodes only the continuing decline of sympathy for al Qaeda and terroristic Islamists. But the Brotherhood brand has been waxing even as bin Ladenism has been waning.
Fighting the Brotherhoods of Islam will be much more difficult than fighting al Qaeda.
