Egypt death sentences further radicalize MB youths

According to some, the death sentences issued against former President Mohammed Morsi and Brotherhood members in Egypt will push youths into joining extremist groups in Sinai.

A supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood and deposed Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi shouts slogans against an Egyptian court's decision to sentence Mursi and other leaders to death, at a rally in Al Haram street near Giza square, south of Cairo, Egypt June 19, 2015. Mursi will appeal against a conviction for violence, kidnapping and torture imposed by a court over the killing of protesters, his lawyers were quoted as saying by state media on Thursday.
