In June 2012 Egypt democratically elected its first head of state, Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood. Morsi's term as President lasted less than one year before he was ousted by the Egyptian military in the spring of 2013. Morsi's supporters have since rebelled against the military sending the country into a state of of near civil war.

Muslims have nothing to do with terrorism. ISIS and terrorist organisations are the issue. Not Muslims
Democracy should be supported, neither religion or military should have power
@8DML7QD4yrs4Y
No country should be governed based on religion so the Muslim brotherhood should be stopped
I don't understand how this is at all relevant to Australian politics. Complex geopolitical issues warrant nuanced and extended discussion, not knee-jerk judgements. Foreign policy is not nearly as relevant as the observable fact that our government is set up not to benefit the people, but to enrich the powerful.
@96NCDT32yrs2Y
Australia needs to be mindful of what side they are funding either assisting the complete control of Egypt by one governing body or have the country plunge into anarchy
@93R3M8Y2yrs2Y
Backing should be commensurate with need
@9343Y3R2yrs2Y
We should stay out of their internal domestic politics
@9343C5Q2yrs2Y
So long as Australia’s Freedom isn’t compromised .
@92X5CJ22yrs2Y
Australia should stay out of it
Australia should not involve this kind of dangerous Military Operations or war!
@92WGVZH2yrs2Y
Sadly this is not an Australian problem if it becomes apparent that Australians are being affected we should do something but also what is the UN doing?
If Egypt is apart of an Australian war alliance then we should be able to supply assistance in resources and minimal men. Unless the Muslim brotherhood intends to inflict possible crimes against Australia. Then we should assist more intensely

Don’t know anything about this
@92C8D9T2yrs2Y
I don’t have enough of an understanding of this question to give a good answer. If the election was free and fair and can be held again then democracy reins supreme
Yes, but only depending of the severity of the situation
Yes, the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organisation!
@8Y22ZR4Independent2yrs2Y
Observe all outlining groups
I don't understand the situation so can't comment
@8VC6KG4Independent3yrs3Y
No, debate this at the United Nations
I would need to know more about this
@aicro2yrs2Y
We shouldn’t necessarily support the Muslim Brotherhood’s cause, interests or values/beliefs - but if the Brotherhood won fairly within a democratic election, Australia has no business or right in intervening unless it poses a direct violent threat to Australia or it’s allies.
@8TH4HRB3yrs3Y
I don't think Australia should get involved but I also think religion and politics should never mix
@8P7J5KD3yrs3Y
I don’t have enough information
Don’t know enough about ti
