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 Brotherhood supporters - are calling for an Islamic state and Sharia law.
Correspondents say the rallies will be a worrying development for secularists.
The Brotherhood is the most organised political force in Egypt, although it was not prominent in the revolution.
Tensions have been running high between Egypt's Islamist and secular groups, who are at odds over the transition to democracy in the Arab world's most populated country.

you see the problem hoori and fred is when some people ( the salfists ) who were sitting at home during the rev now jumped on board releasing BS about people being liberal, or people wanting proper laws etc to them all these people are non believers and they r playing the religon card specially on the non educated majority of the egyptain population. its no secret they r getting aids from known arab nations to pursue such political stance which is pushing egypt to a religous nation like the iranian example.
realistically on the ground its no secret egypt is an islamic nation with an islamic identity but they r frightening the average egyptain with stuff like they dont want egypt to be an islamic state, they dont want to use shairah ( even though egypt has christians living in it i,e u can enforce it the way they want) any way they r now jumping on the band wagon and are acting like they were the ones who gave in everything to remove mubarak etc while they were still debating if its allowed in islam to remove the president or not.
i seriously hope and wish egypt never becomes a religous state bec that would be like bringing back mubarak only this time they scare people and control them using religon and wrong understandings of religon just like so many other nations known to all of us where religon is used to keep people hush hush. i dont think they stand a chance to be honest, egypt may seem to be on the road to being a new iran but its going to take so much for that to happen and quite realistically i dont see it people have had enough of being treated harshly and always living in fear.
