The Muslim Brotherhood In Egypt

The Muslim Brotherhood developed from a small religious organization to a political power having an enormous amount of influence on Egypt. An effort to control Egypt has created chaos within the country. The Muslim Brotherhood failed in their attempt to control the country by trying to reinstate Sharia law, and ruling however they pleased.

The Muslim Brotherhood has rose up from a small organization, to having control and back to a secret group. Egypt is in a major crisis. Without a true political power and no leader they are doomed to suffer through more political transitions with slight hope. Egypt needs a government to mimic and learn from to separate religion from state.
