Brotherhood for Democracy

25 leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood are being detained for 15 days; the government doesn’t want them to be an obstacle during the elections. 800 Brotherhood members are kept in jail. Now, as a columnist in WP explains, shutting anyone out of the political process doesn’t gain democracy. Whatever they stand for isn’t anything we should approve of, but by quieting the largest voice of dissent, we’re damaging the process towards democracy more than most realize.
