This has been the tactic of the losers, who dominate the internet and media, from day ONE: to portray Morsi and his supporters as "Islamists" or radical Muslims.
Well Morsi comes from an Islamist party, so would portraying him as one be wrong?

@Aeronaut
I'm sorry but I can't take the word scumbags anymore.
And some English signs must mean that..they're pro west, doing Americas bidding
Well that didn't stop you from grouping the gang rapes with the "pro democracy" and "pro western" crowd in another thread
People often mix up religion with politics, democracy with intolerance, and patience with suffering.
The Egyptian people baned into the street with greater number than anti-Mubarak protests. Seemingly, they're fed up with the MB, they spoke their word and their voice is being heard.
What I found most interesting going through the Article is, unless I've trouble comprehending, how it was stated that many of them (the Islamists) consider Democracy as Kufar & want to bring about an Islamic State through violence, in a clear cut allusion to the Islamists under question - Morsi & the Muslim Brotherhood. When it clearly appears that the author is either oblivious to or deliberately wishes to ignore the very real fact that the Muslim Brotherhood has always stood for the 'democratic process' whereby they've reiterated their desire to get their agenda institutionalized through the ballot. The few instances of 'violence' that has happened in the past, that can be attributed to them, is inconsequential when compared with what most of 'our' Political Parties have been up to in Karachi, in an entire year, for decades at a stretch.
Heck even the most Liberal or Secularist Elements in Pakistan agree to the fact that of all Parties in Pakistan's Political Capacity; only the Jamaat-i-Islami has had regular free & fair internal elections. No matter how much I may disagree with their interpretation of Political Islamic Paradigms, I could at least have the intellectual honesty of calling a spade a spade instead of going on an incessant vitriol on the mere mention of a Molvi Sahib talking about Politics.
We are - as a society - socially redundant in this case, across the board, that its very hard for us to accept an opposing view & respect it without having a vein in our temple burst because 'I'm right' & the other person must be an absolute 'idiot' for not seeing 'how right' I am. And this really does happens across the board - Islamists, Secularists, Moderates, Nationalists - You name it & we most probably do it !
Yes, Morsi was democratically elected, but let just wait and see what the new election will come up with.

Not everyone is a islamic khilafah zealot...beside most of the Egyptians are Muslim by name and atheist by practice.
Islamism is a failed venture which leads to death, decay and war.

I contribute the down fall of Morsi to imam Hussain~ , shouldn't have gone against Hussain, whoever goes against him will be destroyed.
New election will bring MB back to power. But the new election inevitably will be stage managed to thwart the popular will of the people.
No, it means that the protesters have an international audience in mind -- the propaganda was set in motion to set the stage for a military coup.
Clearly, you missed the point I was making: that, if this had been the reverse situation, everybody would be talking of "evil Muslims" who can't accept democracy or women's rights. The rapes would have been used to de-legitimize the protesters.
In the same fashion as Nazi's were democratically elected.Yes, Morsi was democratically elected, but let just wait and see what the new election will come up with.

Not true at all. I have travelled extensively in egypt. My overall impression is as with many Muslim country beyond the urban minority the overwhelming majority of the people are devout Muslim both in name and in deed.
His portrayal would depend partly on his past actions but, more importantly, on his actions in office.
However, it does not mean that everyone who supports him is also an Islamist.
Like I wrote, I am not supporting Morsi or his policies, but I am supporting his right to serve out his full term as democratically elected by the Egyptian people. This move sets a very bad precedent for the nascent democratic movements in the Middle East. It tells people that, if they don't like the election results, they can throw loud tantrums in the streets until they get the government toppled.
