Any comments or opinions.

I hope they do take over control of the Egyptian government. I have no idea why ignorant people see the words Islam or Muslim and think 'evil'.

Do you guys not think our government is controlled by a secret society? Christian or otherwise? The Federal Reserve is a private enterprise. That should tell you something.

Do you think Arabs strap bombs to themselves and then run into places crowded with civilians and blow themselves up? And that they think they're getting virgins for it? That should tell you something.

This cat's got a point. I think the reason that the Bush admin took out the world trade center was to demonize muslims. That's why so many people equate Islam with evil. The Israelis are planting suicide bombers all over the region also for the same reason.

My comment is the Brotherhood is doing exactly what should be expected of it. Beware of them. If they take control the whole region will shift balance. Just hope for a candidate that is least entangled by their web.

Folks,

The article states that the MB would get 10% to possibly to up to 40% of the vote at most. Other analysis on National Public Radio with Egyptian political Scientists say MB will be a factor, but won't be the major group in the government structure.

Influence, yes; ultimate leader/controlling group, no.

My points (for now) is that,

Why in the hell are people yapping about the Muslim Brotherhood?

Egypt is not that simple.
