A couple of fundamental considerations have been omitted in the analysis by "Nancy". But before I begin, let me say that I'm no fan of Abdel-Fatah Sisi. I despise Sisi and the arrogant, rabid, backward nationalism that is being promoted in Egypt. I have a sense, as alluded in the article, that the Egyptian people are being led like sheep into a trap. Just a hunch.
Anyways, let me get to the point. The author cites Kevin Barrett who describes Morsi's leadership as relatively "cautious" and "benign". Mr.Barrett must have missed Morsi's speech in a stadium surrounded by his fanatical followers whereby he called for "Jihad" against Syria.

US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has warned that foreign-backed terrorist groups in Syria are preparing to attack Western targets.
Presenting an annual intelligence assessment on Wednesday, Clapper told the Senate Intelligence Committee that al-Qaeda-linked groups operating inside Syria have launched camps “to train” the foreign-backed militants to go back to their countries and carry out terrorist acts.
He also touched upon the plans of the al-Qaeda-linked groups in Syria for attacking targets in Western countries.
