Brotherhood Wins Again

In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood supporters of Mohamed Morsi find themselves in a win-win situation. They have won the public opinion battle with almost the whole world condemning the Egyptian military for the bloodshed that happened as the army tried to restore order. To comprehend what is going on, one must understand the mentality of martyrdom. The most fervent Brotherhood supporters will tell you they "love death more than you love life", and they actually want to die in service of their beliefs. So, Brotherhood backers gladly march to their deaths in their effort to overturn the new more secular regime. The police and military in Cairo and Alexandria are fighting for their lives against fanatics willing to die to kill them and gaining bonus points in public opinion and media by dragging their chattel women and minor children with them to face live fire in the riots the Islamists themselves started.
