It's too bad that ties between Qatar and other Gulf countries have been strained over the Qatari's support for the Muslim Brotherhood, which has been sowing mayhem in Egypt. The article "Saudi and Emirati experts quit Qatari media outlets" (March 10) said that Saudi and Emirati media practitioners have stopped working for Qatari major broadcast and print media in support of their respective governments. I think Qatar should have not reacted negatively after Saudi Arabia had declared the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt as a terrorist group for, indeed, the group has been sowing terror in its home country since the ouster of former president Mohammed Morsi. His fall was his own making for not acting as president of the whole of Egypt but as a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. You cannot blame the Egyptian people to rally behind the military after it helped removed Morsi from power. Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood acted as autocrats when they held the reins of government. Morsi was elected on the people's expectation that he would protect the interest of the whole nation and not the vested agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood. He failed the people's expectation. Egypt's interim government is paving the way for fresh election of a new leader who would govern the country. Reports said that the nation's interim president Adly Mansour has signed into law a bill aimed at regulating the upcoming presidential election slated for April. Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood should support the conduct of the upcoming electoral process to bring stability to Egypt. Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood could hope for the people's support if it goes on sowing mayhem. No one has the right to rule on a reign of terror. Martin Marfil, Jeddah
