The Muslim Brotherhood has grown from a small religious organization to a political power with enormous influence over Egypt. Efforts to control Egypt have brought chaos to the country. The Muslim Brotherhood failed in its attempt to control the country by trying to restore Sharia law and rule as it saw fit. They disappointed Egyptian citizens and created a major political problem for Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood is a religious organization turned political group. As a political group, the Muslim Brotherhood promised that the revolution would continue to bring change and that it would reshape the economy to reflect the will of the Egyptian people. The Muslim Brotherhood also promised to achieve a fully democratic political system. Instead, Muhammad Morsi, the former Egyptian president and leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, gave himself the power to legislate without judicial oversight and restore the dissolved parliament. Egypt then experienced another political change in 2013, when the military toppled Morsi from power. The military provides security for Egyptian citizens when the government is in chaos. The involvement of the military in Egypt is very important because the citizens are not able to take control on their own. Egypt is trying to become a democracy, but every time an Islamist wins free elections, they are pushed aside. Egypt has no place to look into its past and must look to other countries for a model of democracy. Egypt needs political reforms. The country should become a democracy and never again allow religious organizations to govern. The Muslim Brotherhood was founded by Hasan al-Bana in 1928. He was born in Mahmudiyya, Egypt and grew up in a home shaped by his father's "class".... ... middle of paper .... .. his claim was proven false during the August 2013 protests. They lied to Egyptian citizens repeatedly. The Muslim Brotherhood attempted democracy; the people voted for them and ended up helping to drive the Muslim Brotherhood from power. Egypt as a whole needs to find a more effective leader who does not tie his religion to his politics. If Egypt wants to emerge from its political darkness, it must not be afraid of change and be willing to work together as a nation and not against each other. The Muslim Brotherhood grew from a small organization to a controlled, then secretive group. Egypt is going through a major crisis. Without real political power and without a leader, they are condemned to undergo more political transitions with little hope. Egypt needs a government that can emulate it and learn to separate religion from state.
