Islamists win over 2/3s of egypts parliament

Considering Islamists make up 90% of the Egyptian population, I have to wonder how the 'minorities' have gained so much traction in their government.

I wonder if Obama Freedom speech really was the catalyst that region needed. Since then the entire region has burst into Democracy wanting protests and Islamist have given way to secularists all over...

That just means the other 1/3 is more secular.. It could be 100% islamic for all we know.

Thanks to obama. Maybe he really is a muslim?

And an indonesian might be sentenced to 5 years in prison for saying god is dead. People point to indonesia as the final place of muslims that make sense since the arab and african world are crazy... I guess theyre all crazy.

Umm, Indonesia is pointed to as moderate Muslim? The place where you get caned for spitting out chewing gum? Never heard that one before.

You are thinking of Singapore, and Singapore is not Muslim. It is entirely secular. Also they stopped caining people for Gum about a decade ago, and you can even buy gum there now.

"Islamist" is a term that doesn't really mean anything.

Obviously it means something because people use it a lot.

All it really means is someone who thinks the values of Islam should inform and shape government policy.

On that basis at least 2/3s of America's gubmint officers are "Christists" too.

It's a term used so broadly it tells you basically nothing concrete about the person so labelled.

I would rather they have democracy even if we dont agree with it. If they pick a fight with us then fight them but we shouldnt meddle just because we dont like the form of democracy they choose.

If the wnner came from the "christian brotherhood" party instead of the republican or democratic party then id agree ith you.

These people rpresent a party called- muslim brotherhood or jihad or kill all coptics,

So its clearly totally different.

Quit bing such an apologist.
