Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood on Friday dismissed comments by US Secretary of State John Kerry accusing them of stealing the revolution, saying Washington backed the ouster of Islamist president Mohammad Mursi

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood on Friday dismissed comments by US Secretary of State John Kerry accusing them of stealing the revolution, saying Washington backed the ouster of Islamist president Mohammad Mursi.
  
Unrest has spiked in Egypt since the military overthrew Morsi in July following popular protests against his one-year rule.
  
Kerry had defended the army's action and Washington said Mursi had failed to live up to calls for an inclusive, transparent government based on democratic principles.

On Wednesday Kerry delivered his harshest assessment to date of Mursi and his backers saying the revolt "got stolen by the one single-most organized entity in the state, which was the Brotherhood".
  
The group's secretary general Mahmoud Hussein hit back saying the Brotherhood won parliamentary and presidential elections after Mubarak's ouster through "transparent" polls organized by the military. Hussein charged that the US administration "backed and participated in the coup" that toppled Mursi.
  
The United States "which promotes democracy and freedoms at home is the biggest supporter of dictatorship and repression", Hussein said.
