But it also faces one of its biggest challenges. Amid fears of a re-run of the
Algerian civil war, where the army also refused to accept an Islamist
election victory, the Brotherhood knows that if it confronts the army too
militantly, it risks being crushed by force.

“Confrontation is not a term in our vocabulary,” Yasser Ali, a
Brotherhood spokesman, insisted to The Sunday Telegraph.

The Brotherhood has spent two decades trying to shed its reputation as a
breeding ground for militant extremists. Many prominent Egyptian terrorists,
including Ayman al-Zawahiri, the head of al-Qaeda, started their political
journey in the Brotherhood.

On Friday, it unveiled a panel of prominent liberal writers and activists who
supported Mr Morsi’s campaign to force the army to reverse its power grab.
In return, Mr Morsi said that if confirmed president, he would appoint a
non-Islamist prime minister.

But on Tahrir Square, even amid throngs of c elebrating Brotherhood
supporters, some protesting in Mr Morsi’s favour offered a double-edged
endorsement.

“The Muslim Brotherhood are another dictatorship,” said Mohammed
Saudi, a sports instructor. “But if we don’t support Morsi, Shafiq will
win and the Mubarak regime will be back.”
