You are full of shite trackie, you know what Morsi was attempting to do. The military stepped in and stopped him. The muslims do not have a track record of tolerance, you know this. To act any different is dishonest. The muslim brotherhood is a terrorist organization and deserve all the grief they get.

The link picks up after what is posted below it, I did not want to post the whole timeline as it is too damn long and is in of itself broken into 3 pages.
Timeline of Egyptian Crisis in 2013
August 12: Morsi carries out a surprise reshuffle of the army command, replacing Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi with Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi. It appears at this stage that the Muslim Brotherhood cut a power-sharing deal with the military. The generals pull back from active politics, while Morsi guarantees the army a decisive say on the matters of national security and the defense budget.
November 22: Frustrated with what he saw as judiciary’s continuous attempts to obstruct his mandate, Morsi issues a controversial constitutional declaration removing any judicial oversight over his decisions. But the move proves to be a catastrophic blunder. Secular Egyptians decry the move as a coup that invests Morsi with near-absolute power, and tens of thousands of protesters take to the streets.
November 30: Tensions escalate further when the Islamist majority in the Constituent Assembly – a panel appointed by the dissolved parliament to draft the new constitution – issues a controversial draft constitution, despite the walkout of secular delegates who complain their input was ignored.
December 1: In a new push to speed up the transition, Morsi announces that a referendum on the new constitution will take place on December 15.
December 8: Morsi is forced to revoke his constitutional declaration under the pressure of daily protests by secular parties and revolutionary groups, but he insists on holding the constitutional referendum. Morsi’s Islamist supporters organize counter-rallies, leading to clashes between rival groups.
December 15: Voters pass the constitution amid a low turnout, but the secular opposition refuses to recognize the outcome, accusing Morsi of taking the country down the road of an Islamist dictatorship. The stage is set for a grand confrontation between the Muslim Brotherhood and its secular opponents in a deeply polarized society, as the military watches on from the sidelines.

No, you're full of shite when you accused the Brotherhood of banning protest, and that's what I was talking about. As a matter of fact, not only did the Brotherhood not ban protest, but Mubarak didn't ban them either, and it was these protests that got both of them overthrown. It seems that Al-Sisi has decided that the way to maintain power is to ban free speech. You should quit while you're behind and stop pulling crap out of your arse.
Either you believe in free spech for people you despise or you don't believe in free speech at all.
