re: #58 Alouette

what’s going on? We were so assured that the “Tahrir Square” protestors were totally against the MB!

There are plenty of young Egyptians who took part in the protests who want nothing to do with Islamist parties. But the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafi groups had well-established political organizations already in place, and it looks like they simply moved into the power vacuum and took advantage of that.

The military has the real power in Egypt, though, and we could see another outright military takeover before this finishes shaking out.
