The rejectionist approach to the current government followed by Morsi and those many of his friends in the MB leadership who are also in detention is not surprising. Professor Yoram Meital, an expert on Egypt and chairman of the Herzog Center at the Ben-Gurion University, said that just as the Muslim Brotherhood made every possible mistake when it was in power, it is wrong now to adopt an uncompromising stance; its attitude has led to criticism not only among the general public, but also from within the movement itself.
Meital suggests that the Brotherhood might be on the eve of a historic split. Previous leaders such as Abdul-Munim Abu al-Fotouh, who was once a candidate for president himself, are touting a much more moderate line, one that portrays Morsi and his friends as militant extremists.
