Bottom line: we probably don’t need to worry that the Muslim Brotherhood is going to take over. The Egyptian people don’t want that - and a majority don’t want to eliminate the treaty with Israel, either.
I can believe that poll, but I also believe that a majority in Iran don’t want the Mullahs running their country, so dismissing the MB as irrelevant for this reason alone is not a good idea.
