Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood confronted on Twitter

When the Muslim Brotherhood’s Twitter account asked the seemingly innocent question, 'why do you hate us?' the Islamic group likely did not anticipate the reaction it stirred. The question was directed at Egyptian activists who do not shy away from criticizing the group, especially now that their political wing, the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), are in power. The level of intensity soars high. Hundreds of activists took turns in answering the question, as candidly as possible. Feelings of frustration at the groups’s actions thus far and a lack of support for the revolution and its unmet demands were clear in all the responses.
