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.

I totally agree with you. It's an ill bird that fouls its own nest . This will help the Islamist cause by winning them broad sympathy. Would you say it would be seen as oppressing people based on their religion?
