  Wait you mean that a country with free elections has a faction that is deeply conservative, driven by religious fundamentalists, interested in restricting certain individual liberties in the name of religion, and focused on making enemies of all who do not agree with their way of life?

  If you are trying to make a comparison between Al Queda, the Muslim Brotherhood and American Conservatives, you really are delusional. The above scenario you talk about sounds more like your Progresso-lib friends on the left. As a matter of fact, the muslim fanatics over there are aligning themselves with commies and socialists right now.

  Egypt Muslim Brotherhood may be satisfied with the Parliamentary poll, but you can bet there is a " Bad moon on the rise" The Muslim Brotherhood was officially banned since the 1950's now they call themselfs the Guidance Council. Understand that Egypt was ruled for 6 decades by the military as an authoritarian secular state. The Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist movement is going to win a stronger role in the country. Now the way I reckon, they will entrench Sharia Law into Egypt, making criminal law unchangeable and at the mercy of their high priests (Muftis). Understand that many economic practices are controlled by Sharia, so actually its only like 1/4 democracy. Pretty pathetic, really. All their doing in a nutshell as far as I am concerned is trading a Pharoah with a Mufti. Big difference!

  The big test will be their constitutional convention which is set to occur early next year. If they can draft a constitution that strongly protects individual freedom then they should be ok, but if not you're probably right. If they leave out the part about "no law respecting an establishment of religion" they're probably screwed.

  Do you ever do a reality check comparing past history?
  Do you really think that is even possible in that part of the world ?
  They are screwed, always have been, always will be !
  
  Theirs is a culture in love with fanaticism, hatred of anyone not Muslim and love of dying, perhaps they need help to achieve that goal, a smoking hole in the ground.

  No, but they sure constitute as a major influence on the freakazoid terrorist population.
