USA Today:
Experts and analysts: the army does not want to crush the Muslim Brotherhood .. strategy group in the protest aimed at proving their flexibility and show that they do not know what to do

The newspaper published a report on the status of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt now, and its fate after a court ruling banning them, and said that the group is facing a decline in the country, but did not come out of her.

The paper talked in the beginning about the way in which it will meet leaders of the organization at the moment to manage their own affairs, and said that their meetings are often held in places of modest, in the office of a lawyer or a doctor or a clinic home companion for them, and it takes only an hour or two before they disperse.

He says Khaled El Maati, a member of Freedom and Justice party said they had private offices and no one knows about cheesed, and sometimes we meet in our homes to decide what we will do.

The newspaper says the Brotherhood a year ago, they were the most powerful political force in Egypt, but now it has become a party banned and thousands of its members in prison. Therefore Brotherhood back again to covert action, which has been operating it for a decade and under the group's struggle to find her future after the crackdown, which severely weakened.

The paper quotes experts as saying that it is unlikely that the Egyptian army crushed the group, the Muslim Brotherhood has been used to organize covert action and reinforced the foundations of social networks, which experts say is difficult to extinguish.

Says Khalil Anani, an expert on Islamic groups, and fellow at the Institute of the Middle East in Washington that the Brotherhood have a history of great work in secret, and then, this is not something new for them. They can adapt. As Shadi Hamid, director of research center Brondz Doha, expected that the army does not want to hurt the Brotherhood, but also wants to eliminate them as a political force in the country and social.

The newspaper goes on to say that the American chain of command to organize the Brotherhood suffered heavy blows, indicators suggest decentralization, there are challenges in internal communications, and the absence of the task and the different views and the decline in bio-discipline among the members who make the group successful.

Maati say that most leaders of the Brotherhood, which has not been arrested smuggled out of Egypt. He adds Maati, who works in media affairs for the Freedom and Justice Party, which was refused in the past to make a speech to the newspaper on the grounds that he is not speaking officially, but became less bound, it usually receives orders via email and phone from leaders outside the country. The information received in days, which is usually linked to the Muslim Brotherhood will come out to protest.

Analysts say the Brotherhood maintained their strategy in protest against the new leaders of the country to demonstrate the flexibility of the group, but they also indicate that they also do not know what to do.

And see Anani that target the least of the protests is to maintain the solidarity and support among members of the group and reinforced by in the face of a common enemy .. a strategy to wait in the hope that the best is coming, or at least recede damage, especially when it comes to social infrastructure of the organization, because this is real life for the Muslim Brotherhood in eventually.

And the decision to ban the Muslim Brotherhood and the most active, the newspaper quoted Stephen Brock, a doctoral student at the University of Texas, Austin, who writes about the work of the Islamic Charity Medical Center in Egypt, saying it was difficult to crush the social activities of the Muslim Brotherhood because informal initiatives are likely to continue.
