I guess there are no 'good' guys or 'bad' buys - both sides are pretty bad. But in trying to determine which groups is the 'baddest', it is the side that treats the Christians the worst. I guess there's not much 'brotherly love' among the Muslims, towards other religious groups, or their own. It's pretty much the Bloods vs the Crips.
"(CNSNews.com) – Some supporters of Egypt’s ousted Islamist president directed their wrath at the country’s Christian minority Wednesday, in what activists described as “the worst coordinated attacks on Egypt’s Coptic community in modern history.”
Largely eclipsed by the military’s crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood protest camps in Cairo and resulting loss of life, more than 20 churches in a number of provinces were reported to have been targeted for arson and other attacks.
Through the day news reports and social media posts drew attention to individual incidents and it soon became apparent that a concerted campaign of coordinated attacks was underway. Most of the targeted churches were Coptic Orthodox, but Catholic churches were also attacked as well as at least one Protestant church.
A lot of building being burnt not just Christian. Looks like this ends democracy of deciding leadership by elections as one non-supporter of the former president said on TV. Looking more and more like a military promote coup from the start now. As one non-supporter of former president said when interviewed; what good does having democratic elections now as no one thinks it matters.

Is it a coup or a revolution? The ousted President was ousted because be made himself into a dictator. Left in power, he would have turned Egypt into another Iran.
Christians and Christian Churches are an easy and mostly under reported target of violence throughout the Islamic world, especially with a country-wide riot taking place.
Not all Muslims are Islamists. It is Muslims who ousted the Muslim Brotherhood for fear of an Islamist government.
That's my point. It's not easy to tell which side is better than the others. It appears that America wants to side with the 'rebels' when they in fact are killing the Christians. That's why I think we should choose the side that treats the Christians best, because we all know that the Muslims don't like Christians, but the side that is most 'tolerant' of Christians is probably the side that is most tolerant of women, minorities, etc.

Here's a novel idea, let America side with Americans and let the rest of the world fend for itself.

I side with my friends and family in Egypt who want a secular and stable government which represents the people.
