The Egyptian government dealt
the Muslim Brotherhood another
significant blow Monday, when a
court issued a ban on the group's
activities. Historically the
Brotherhood thrived under its
outlaw status; it curried sympathy
from the Egyptian public,
especially when it was targeted by
security forces. But this no longer
holds true now that Egyptians have seen the Brotherhood briefly hold power. The group has lost
so much political capital that it faces challenges not only from the secularists, who are supported
by the military, but also from its fellow Islamists. This may have been what the regime had in
mind when it lobbied for the ban.
