Even if that would be true (that US supported that coup), would the democratically elected Mohamed Morsi have promoted science education in Egypt? The Muslim Brotherhood's history of science education doesn't seem so rosy.

I am curious what you think of https://www.hudson.org/research/9881-the-muslim-brotherhood-... (yes, I know this is written by an Israeli)

Will take my time reading this. But will tell you my opinion.

No, I don't think the MBH would accept ALL the results of science. But I do think they would have made what they could to make the education system better.

But again this is not the point, What about after the MBH? Maybe someone else would came to establish a better system. But now it is all gone. No real elections, and no peaceful transfer of power.
