    First: Define “support”. Second: The Muslim Brotherhood stopped using violence decades ago. Third: Way to miss the point. The article is discussing imperial violence. I hope this doesn’t need to be said, but not all violence is equal.

      Oh, OK. Imperial violence. Got it. If you define things narrowly enough, you can never be a hypocrite.
