Because it provides a variety of opinion and somewhere in between lies the real truth for the most part.
I speculate that what your friend has offered is his view of the people and events as he sees them. I understand in all of this that he speaks truth but it is his truth. However if your a member of the MB then thetheir truth is Sharia Law is a good thing. Since you describe your friend's political leanings to be Repubican I would likely share his view and hence his truth

My friend is the farthest thing from a radical muslim, or a sharia law advocate that I know. He is intelligent and thoughtful and reasonable. I viewed his statement as coming from someone whose family is in the middle of a country in chaos, who hopes for some stability and feeling that, while not the ideal outcome, it may offer some hope. I personally have not followed the Egyptian situation closely, and reached out to him for some insight into the mind and attitude of someone who is directly touched by these events. Thanks for the thoughtful response Rubi!
