"One of the most striking developments in Egypt over the past few months has been the apparent transformation of liberals like Aboul-Ghar—those who were supposed to be advocates of free expression and religious tolerance, but also of political pluralism and the restraint of state violence—into something that more closely resembled authoritarians, at least where the Brotherhood was concerned, and believers in the benevolence of military rule. In reality, it’s a phenomenon that has spread across the political spectrum. Egyptians watch state-run television networks that report exclusively on the supposed acts of terrorism, ignoring the disproportionate force of the police and military. Not a single major Egyptian newspaper showed a picture of a Brotherhood victim on its front page on Thursday."
