Those who met on Tahrir Square seem to have forgotten to educate the people and the Islamists about their values and goals.

The secular democrats in Egypt have a lot of work to do. This is very sad.

I wonder where the Islamists plan to get their military equipment and support. Russia? Iran? China?

I figure that Morsi already has that planned out.

What percentage of Egyptians do you think are not the "Islamists" you mention?

At least, not yet.

Morsi won the presidential election. The Moslem Brotherhood won the parliamentary elections.

Morsi assumed special powers to get the constitutional process completed. The constitution has been completed. It will face a popular vote in 13 days.

Let's see what happens after that.

Assuming special powers is how it starts.

I find it highly unlikely he will give these 'special' powers up.

They were mainly designed to block the Mubarek judiciary from further fucking with the process.

It's a weird situation: You now have the liberal revolutionaries aligned with the Mubarek supporters against the Islamists.

Let's see what happens.

Few folks in power give up their special powers.

Like you say, we'll see.

I am so sure there will be a representative secular democracy at the end.

I'm sure women , minorities , gay Egyptians and religious minorities will have full rights and protection.

That was obvious sarcasm.


Sooner or later people may notice that rractionary neanderthal sharia law is totally antithetical to human rights and democracy.
