Egypt can't get anymore secular than it actually is now.. like the guy said today..
Egyptians are smart, and Mubarak is Egyptian.. now it is become a game and the game is about who can stand to lose more and who can stand it the longest.. the people on the street have nothing so they're going to be there for the long haul..
I wouldn't worry about the religiosity of the Egyptians..
I have to say I have never seen this scene in Turkey (and I could be wrong)
But Egypt is very much a Muslim country and their jinood (soldiers) are mentioned in ahadith, they're 3la ribaat ila youm ad'deen..
insha'Allah victory is ours.. it is to the death now!
