Muslim Brotherhood Promises A Million Protesters In Show of Force Against Demonstrators

There are large protests against the Muslim Brotherhood tyranny (and it is a tyranny, given that its second or third move was simply to vote itself all political power without check).

So the Muslim Brotherhood is promising to bring even more protesters to the streets, in its favor.

I suppose there is some risk of serious violence, though perhaps I'm just an optimist.

It's worth remembering that when Mubarak was threatened with ouster, one middle-course plan suggested that elections be schedule in a year, permitting political parties to form, in a year of transitional democracy overseen by the Army. The only truly organized party in Egypt was the Muslim Brotherhood, and it was widely predicted that if elections were held immediately then what would happen is... exactly what has happened. The Muslim Brotherhood would win, then declare an Islamic tyranny, and then blow up the pyramids.

They haven't done the latter yet but there is talk. (No, really.)
