An Islamist leader from the long-suppressed Muslim Brotherhood group has been declared winner of Egypt’s first-ever free presidential election, held almost a year and a half after a popular uprising unseated Hosni Mubarak, the former dictator.
Mohamed Morsi, 62, a US-trained engineer, has been declared president by the powerful electoral commission, a week after polls closed in a tightly-fought election which pitted him against Ahmed Shafiq, a military man. Mr Shafiq, a former regime insider, was seen as embodying the army-led establishment which had been in power since 1952.
I am not sure how well it's going to end but why all the media saying "Islamist" what like they are planning another 9/11 on the west now? Seriously all these English and western people really have problems with Muslims and Muslim countries. But it's ok for them to take our oil..
What ''Islamist'' ?
He is better than the alternative being shafiq (army ruling)
but he has chosen a christian and a woman as his vice-president and the biggest nono of all is that he (or the mb) have already said that they ain't gonna implement Shariah!!
If that is what the Egyptians want, oh well. It's their country.
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.

I believe something more radical will need to take place over the entire Muslim world for that to happen.. but I think it is a positive step. I want to comment that article II of the Egyptian constitution draws its fundamental political principles from sharia.. The idenitity of Egypt is never in question.. but allowing all those factions to have a say in my opinion is wrong given that in the 'civilized west' they're making it the law so that minority opinion as far as their own affairs are concerned are against the law with 26 states for insance banning sharia.. so I don't really wish to hear from them about 'human rights and minority rights' isn't that by definition what democracy is? 50+1 usurping 50-1?
