Abstract
For the first time since its establishment in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood reached political power when one of its members held the presidency in Egypt after the presidential elections of 2012. One year after being in power, another revolution unwounded against the Muslim brotherhood’s president, on the 30th of June 2013. The Muslim Brotherhood, by the end of 1990s and the beginning of 2000s has launched two internet websites: Arabic and English and used to adopt double faced discourse to attract supporters from different political attitudes, namely Islamists and secularists. This paper argues that one of the important reasons behind the failure of the Muslim Brotherhood In Egypt is that it failed after it came to power to transform its double faced discourse into policies. Decisions and policies of the Muslim Brotherhood were contradictive and did not satisfy any side, after a short while, the group lost all its allies.
