Cairo professor: Muslim Brotherhood "underestimated the degree that they have alienated just about everybody else in this country"

Abdallah Schleifer, an American convert to Islam, is Professor Emeritus of Journalism at the American University in Cairo. "Misinformation about Egypt’s ‘massacre,’" by Abdallah Schleifer in Al Arabiya, 15th Augus: 

No one really knows how many pro-Mursi protestors were killed on Wednesday – the government says about 270, the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) has been saying more than 2,000. My assumption is that both parties are lying.

What will be interesting is to see how much attention is paid by the same American and European political leaders – who responding to disturbing television images, cannot resist criticizing the government and the armed forces – to the minister of interior’s announcement Wednesday night that 43 policemen were killed and more than 140 wounded.

This came among the 21 police stations attacked upon the orders of the MB, the band that successfully stormed the Kerdesa police station (not far from the Giza pyramids), not only killed the policemen on duty there but mutilated their bodies.
