Thousands and thousands of students have been mobilized by the Muslim Brothers in the universities over the past week against Minister Farouk Hosni’s remarks about the veil.

ضد دولة الفساد.. وضد دولة الكهنوت

I would have loved to see those thousands brought out by the MB in demos in solidarity with Dr. Essam el-Erian and Dr. Mohamed Mursi, and the rest of the MB detainees. Or has the Brotherhood forgotten about them? I would have loved to see those thousands mobilized over labor and student unions violations, or over police brutality.

Ya Ikhwan Ya Muslimeen grow up, and stop wasting your energies on those stupid moral crusades…

UPDATE: Thousands of Islamist students demonstrated today at Al-Azhar University campus in el-Darrassa, against Farouk Hosni.

UPDATE: Photographer and friend Nasser Nouri covered Al-Azhar protest today…

    Yeah, it’s kind of odd how the public faces of the MB insist their main goal is democratization and human rights but they turn out to be a bit timid in arranging rallies and protests on anything but religious or cultural issues.
