Morsi trial set for tomorrow

The deposed President of Egypt will appear in court tomorrow for the first time. I’d say that tomorrow is likely to be a troubled and turbulent day in Egypt.

It’s hard to imagine a more polarizing issue. For some, Morsi is a democratically elected leader ousted in an illegal military coup. For what seems to be a larger number of others in Egypt, Morsi himself is the architect of an unconstitutional coup and the figurehead of a shadowy pan-Islamist clique that needs to be smashed as a terrorist group. There’s not much middle ground in Egypt on this question.
