Comment: Death toll soars to 638 in Egypt violence

A

ug. 16, Online/AP

Weeping relatives in search of loved ones uncovered the faces of the bloodied, unclaimed dead in a Cairo mosque near the smoldering epicenter of support for ousted President Mohamed Mursi, as the death toll soared past 600 Thursday from Egypt'€™s deadliest day since the Arab Spring began.

Your comments:

It is all very depressing but a lot of experts in the region and beyond suggest the Muslim Brotherhood and Mursi had this coming when they started to abuse power and load the laws in favor of Islamist policies rather than for the general good of Egypt, despite promising not to.

They also stayed silent in the face of rising violence toward the Copts and started openly supporting Hamas and Iran.
