There is nothing else to back in the Middle East, Islam means submission, it is not about free thinking or choice or anything required to have a democracy.
You're a fountain of knowledge regarding ISLAM as a religion.

Submission to their god. Democratic muslim countries do exist.
Some people talk of democracy but hate the first true democracy in the mideast ...some talk of a strategic partner when Israel has the God of Abraham behind them...I chose Israel God's chosen people as the mideasts model democracy let Egypt find her own course and stay out of it.
What is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
The Army said the MB may be locked out of the next set of elections.
The Obama administration supported the Brotherhood before the military coup that ousted Mubarek.
Records show that the Brotherhood has been invited to the WH since 2009 when Obama first came into office.
I sincerely doubt they will lock out the MB from the elections, that will lead to more violence. Meeting with the MB and promoting their leadership is two different issues, at any rate why is Morsi's removal a good thing. Seems like everyone was willing to turn a blind eye to Mubaracks regime but now they are becoming politically correct with the removal of Morsi.
Actually that article says US has not taken a side in the fight and is not, and has not suppoted any political party over another in Egypt. A lot of people have visited the WH, many friendly and some less friendly and some even sworn enemies of US. A visit does not mean we support them.
I hate Israel, but I would prefer Mubarak to Morsi if I lived in Egypt.
Acknowledging that, a more likely explanation for the "difference in attitude and approach" is that Mubarak was an autocrat who could not hold onto power no matter what, and therefore was no longer any use to us. We also simply could not tell Mubarak "smash the pro-democracy side, Tienanmen-style, and we're ok with it" and maintain any credibility in human rights whatsoever.
Morsi was at least a legitimate president in the beginning, and it would be unusual for one head of state to demand the military deposition of another elected head of state, no matter how much of a prick he is. Especially when he is the leader of an important strategic partner who has not broken his country's treaty with us.
Mubarik kept the Brotherhood out, that's probably why we instigated that regime change. The people won't put up with Morsi, and they also want the Brotherhood out.
