Damage :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Mark D (United States), Mar 26, 2014 at 23:34

But Field Marshall Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's extra-legal crackdown on Islamists will likely backfire and help the Islamist cause by winning them broad sympathy. Even if today's absurd judgment gets reversed on appeal, it and others like it are doing real damage.

You bet it is doing real damage. Instead of tightening the screws on Islamists, another uprising, this time for the fourth time (correct me if I am wrong), might occur again in Egypt because of this.
