re: #211 brookly red

and faced with the alternative, it is a good choice.

I’m not sure that the alternative is the Muslim Brotherhood. A lot of people in the streets are middle class and young people as well - they’re not known for being huge supporters of the brotherhood. While there may be some risk involved, I don’t get the feeling that this is an islamic revolution. I get the feeling that this is a new media age revolution which involves a lot of people on the whole spectrum, many of them who probably don’t want a religious tyranny. I may be wrong, but it may just be a risk worth taking.
