    Egypt: from 2011 demonstrations to today

    There should be an award named after Bisco only for the way he manages to tolerate Turk. Sometimes I can't even figure if Turk is joking or is simply plain stupid. You can argue that it was a coup or that MB and their fans must have been given their chance but to call everyone on the other side...

    Egypt: from 2011 demonstrations to today

    MB took over power through a revolution to which they contributed very little. They also won an election which was not entirely fair and legitimate and had a lot to do with a notorious ally such as Salafists. What was really obvious in the past year was that MB doesn't know politics and this led...

    Egypt: from 2011 demonstrations to today

    Heard about the news today. Also read somewhere that police officials were present at the place but didn't care to stop the killing. Seems there's not much money for human right activists in covering and documenting the obvious human rights violations the Shiite minority is going through in...

    Egypt: from 2011 demonstrations to today

    I believe Egyptians should have cashed in on the opportunity when Mubarak promised to resign at the end of his term looking for a peaceful transfer of power and also promised a free and fair presidential elections. I'm not saying he was certainly going to keep his promises but there didn't seem...

    Egypt: from 2011 demonstrations to today

    Seriously Abed? (you of all people I mean? Don't you believe in the "ultimate justice in Qiyamah?") So is this justice to set the same punishment for a dictator like Mubarak and someone who's killed someone in a fight? I could ask many other questions of that sort. It's not that I care about...

    Egypt: from 2011 demonstrations to today

    I don't remember myself saying basically anything other than "it's not necessary to execute dictators after overthrowing them" from the beginning. I don't remember myself saying that a murderer is not responsible for his crime either.

    I am but it has nothing to do with my stance on this. I don't think executing dictators after overthrowing them is a necessity.

    Egypt: from 2011 demonstrations to today

    I can read this in another way: Assad will never stop killing his people now that he is in the midst of doing it because he knows he will be executed if he resigns. Both of these two interpretations could be right, but what's certain is that when you are corrupted by power, you never learn from...

    He got what he deserved. He went down. But it's not the point. He is gone so I really hope Egyptians leave it all there. One thing is for sure: Mubarak is responsible for every single bullet shot, for everyone dead on the streets. What I don't understand is this hunger for revenge. Don't your...

    What do you mean Ahmed? Do your people seriously demand his execution?

    Egypt: from 2011 demonstrations to today

    Of course not. It's still too early to judge I know, but this is looking more and more like Iran of 32 years ago. An Islamic republic Iran was what people wanted back in the day (unanimously voted by 98.9% of people) and now we have this. Don't know how Egypt will look like if the majority push...

    Egypt uprising: Islamists lead Tahrir Square rally Tens of thousands of people have packed Cairo's Tahrir Square, after the first call by Islamist leaders for nationwide demonstrations since President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in February. Many protesters - dominated by Muslim...

    Egypt: from 2011 demonstrations to today

    That's great. The demonstrations going on without (at least some aspects of) people's lives coming back to normal would be going to harm Egypt financially a lot. But it's not like Mubarak has won the battle. Egyptians are now united against him, they now know well what they want, Mubarak knows...

    I'm not sure if you know it all or you don't. I don't think what you don't know about Iran is more than 10%.

    Why not Al Baradei? Do people really think he is a puppet? :D And isn't Suleiman a close figure to Mubarak after all?

    How much do your people trust Omar Suleiman?

    Egypt: from 2011 demonstrations to today

    Seeing what's going on in Tahrir square reminds me of us demonstrating against the corrupt government over a year ago except that Egyptian army doesn't seem as brutal as Iranian army when confronting people. My mother however says it reminds her of the 1979 Islamic revolution when people of all...
