Two Wrongs Do Not Make An Egyptian Right

In my opinion there can be no justification for the military in overthrowing a democratically elected government. There is no justification for the arrest of key members of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

The Muslim Brotherhood after all were the strongest peaceful  opposition to military rule in Egypt over the course of many years.

It is my view that the best form of government is a secular democracy which has all the checks and balances needed to ensure a fair society and the rights of everyone. To impose a theocracy does not guarantee this and it is clear that a substantial number of Egyptians, although religious, do not want a state run by clerics.

The best course of action would be for the military to remain loyal to the Egyptian electorate and desist from intervention.

Egyptian religious leaders should support a secular and democratic constitution and remove themselves from politics.

This is the best method of  assuring the rights of everyone and the peace.
