It is disastrous to interpret the crisis in Egypt as a war against Islam, as the Islamists like to portray. Morsi is neither the prophet of democracy nor the Jesus of political Islam. He is a good but stubborn man who contributed deeply to his own demise. It is about time for Islamists in Egypt and their Turkish allies to understand that fact. The only way for Egypt to emerge peacefully from this crisis is by convincing the Muslim Brotherhood that rejoining the political process does not mean legitimizing the “coup.” In fact, it is the only way to save Egypt’s democracy. Most Egyptians do not want to uproot political Islam out of their country, but they want to reintegrate it in a more pluralistic, democratic system. There is still time to reconcile Egypt and heal its bleeding soul. Turkey can help, but only if it is sincerely willing to help.
