    I strongly believe that Muslim brotherhoods are true traitors to Egypt from the day they were established. Most of the followers are just following blindly and naively what is broadcasted publicly without looking deeply to the actual terrorists acts against Egypt.

      I think you are brave to write that and I despair at the comments you have received. Sisi is responsible for more deaths in the last two years thnt the MB have been since they were formed. His groupies tend to forget that.
