Sa`d Id-Din Ibrahim

This is the usual typical pattern of Ibrahim: he always supports regimes and groups, before turning against them (for whatever reason).  He supported Nasser, but turned against him in the Sadat era. He supported Sadat, but turned against him in the Mubarak era. He then supported Mubarak but turned against him in his last year. He them championed the Muslim Brotherhood from his jail cell and called for understanding with them. He supported the rise of Ikhwan after Mubarak but now he has just noticed that the Ikhwan had not produced creativity and geniuses (unlike, say, the ruling party of Mubarak, with which he was aligned at some point).
