Egyptian Elections: Moslem Brotherhood leading, Salafists Second
2011-11-30
From Yourmiddleeast.com
The Muslim Brotherhood...said their new Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) was ahead in preliminary results.

"From the start of the voting process until now (around 0930 GMT), preliminary results show the Freedom and Justice party list ahead," a statement from the group said, without giving figures.

In a surprise trend that would alarm secular liberals and the country's minority Christian community, the FJP also claimed that hardline Islamists who follow the strict Salafi brand of Islam were in second position.

#3  BHO's obscene al-azhar apology set the stage for islamonazism.

Fred: please ban use of the phrase here: "we have to respect the wishes of the _____ people." They are nothing but a pack of headless-chickens posing as human beings. If stupidity was a crime, few arabs would be walking free.

#2  Among a bunch if disorganized rioters, they were the most organized group; the strong horse. Certainly the current administration could have seen this coming. Of course maybe they did. Look for Libya to go this way next.

#1  The big losers will be the Egyptian women and religious/socio/ethnic minorities.

"The people of Egypt have spoken. Their voices have been heard and Egypt will never be the same," Obean® said. "By stepping down, President Mubarak responded to the Egyptian people's hunger for change, but this is not the end of Egypt's transition. It's the beginning."

Truer words have never been spoken. An almost 21st century society will regress 1,300 years.
