Those Are Our Two Options?!!
This is exactly what I feared: the MB (Ikhwan) are now striking back at the government's chaotic, and bit desperate, attack on Mahdy Akef's infamous Toz.
Take this article(Arabic) for example. It is written by some Abd El-Geliel Sharnouby on the Ikhwan site. In short the author is trying to say something like: Akef's Toz is insignificant when compared to Mubarak's & Co repeated disregards, humiliations, and injustices towards the Egyptian people.
Well Mr Sharnouby, I couldn't agree with you more on the Mubarak & co side of the argument. But because somebody is committing evil, that doesn't mean that it is ok for you to do some more. There is a verse in Quran which says just that "La tazer wazera wezr ok'hra" "Nobody should be taken for the sin of another" (they're insulting us, Egyptians, using the execuse that the government does as well!!!!!).
Or do you just use Quran when it is going your way?
The Ikhwan are trying to portray this as a "we" against "them" struggle. And this is the greatest calamity of all.
Now I know how does it feel being between a rock and a hard place!

well, and not in support of Ayman Nour in particular he is not my cup of tea, but my immediate reaction when Nour was accused of forging signatures for his party, was: oh well it is like a pot calling a kettle black-really they have the nerve to rigg the whole election process and yet accuse someone for forging some 500 signatures.Not that i would have Ayman Nour get away with it in the instances that the charges were solid-but it is the sad situtation we are in, when one options boil down to a kettle and a pot..this vicious circle has to be broken, and yet again, political parties, and the way they operate do not give me the glimpse of hope..

I think it would be more accurate to translate the verse you used to be: No one can be taken for another's sin.

I really am pissed whenever anyone blames the government alone for whats wrong in the country, Everyone is responsible one way or another, everyone contributed & those MB are even worse than the government.
IF they excuse their leaders blatant insult, they will find an excuse for anything, they are more corrupt. didnt their leader say its ok for a muslim to rule muslims even if he bedded women & drank alcohol?? arent those 2 supposedly Big Sins in the MB thought?
