I find it inconceivable that anyone with access to the writings of Qtub or with even a minimum exposure to the Muslim Brotherhood believes that they are "not out to force their religous and political views on the country but only want to be represented and want a democratic free society" I think this is a tiger-by-the-tail for the secularists who are pretending to believe it for now. The Takfiri hold as a matter of doctrine that democracy itself it evil and secular society is exactly the problem. I do believe they think they can contain them - hence the analogy to Kerensky ( or Weimar )

I might add that any secularist government that does try to "contain" the MB is probably going to resort to the same tactics employed by Sadat and Mubarak, but with less success as they will have paid lip service to the benign intentions of the MB - a burden never carried by their predecessors.
