    In July 2013, the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood organised a massive sit-in in the Rabaa al Adawiya to denounce the the coup.

    Security forces later raided the square and killed hundreds of people in a single day in what they termed a counter-terrorism operation.

    If your “counter-terrorism” operation involves killing citizens peacefully protesting the ousting of the democratically elected president, then you’re the terrorist.

    The real lesson here is that democracy means you vote for the candidate that will benefit USA / Israel.

      We fight the terrorism with more brutal terrorism. That turns the original terrorism into a footnote and reduces its significance.

      Congratulations everyone, we’ve successfully defeated Terrorism©
