The Mob Rules in Egypt

I am dubious about the common perception that the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist politics in Egypt have been struck a deadly blow from which they may never recover. I say this because in reality Egypt has experienced neither real politics nor meaningful Islamism in recent years, but rather only superficial caricatures of both of those phenomena. I suspect that what Egypt is experiencing now is not the end of Islamist politics, but the start of its first real test in the public political sphere that is still in the process of being born in Egypt and other Arab countries.
