Dissenting Voices Emerge within Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood
(MEMRI) The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) rank and file have begun calling for a revolt against the movement's leadership, and are accusing MB leaders of inciting to violence and bloodshed. Hundreds of MB activists, primarily from the movement's younger generation, have renounced their movement membership in protest against the demonstrations and sit-down strikes that the MB is holding in an attempt to restore Morsi to the presidency. The splinter groups are calling for the ouster of MB General Guide Dr. Muhammad Badi, and demanding early elections to choose a more "enlightened" leadership.
