I am by no means a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood and I consider it a dangerous organization (particularly for the Christians in Egypt, who may rightfully breathe a sigh of relief in light of these news), but I can't help but still feel uneasy about the way Egypt's democratically elected president was removed from power.

Yes, this.

The Muslim Brotherhood was a relatively moderate center-right organization, in the Egyptian political spectrum it was like the Christian Democrats. If they had been allowed to remain in power for another six months to a year, it would have totally discredited itself. Instead, this crackdown has radicalized it, and I do not think they are going away. Liberals have no-one to "back" in Egypt now.
