Prometheus Posted February 11, 2011 Good Mubarak should be gone. But the care-taker government (and the ultimate lever of powers) should lie with the military (for now). I think TIME Magazine's Fareed Zakaria, a shrewd economist and political commentator, pretty much captures my view on this issue. Egypt will inch towards liberal democracy. But even our secular and liberal Egyptian friends ought to remain cognizant of the fact that Egyptians espouse some rather primitive, inhumane views. There's still a glimmer of hope. Egypt is a vast, complex country and is in the midst of unprecedented change. There are certainly troubling signs. When the Pew Research Center surveyed the Arab world last April, it found that Egyptians have views that would strike the modern Western eye as extreme. Pew found that 82% of Egyptians support stoning as a punishment for adultery, 84% favor the death penalty for Muslims who leave the religion, and in the struggle between "modernizers" and "fundamentalists," 59% identify with fundamentalists. That's enough to make one worry about the rise of an Iranian-style regime. Except that this is not all the Pew surveys show. A 2007 poll found that 90% of Egyptians support freedom of religion, 88% an impartial judiciary and 80% free speech; 75% are opposed to censorship, and, according to the 2010 report, a large majority believes that democracy is preferable to any other kind of government.-- Fareed Zakaria, TIME Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LayZie G. Posted February 11, 2011 what comes next is whether or not the pew research will materialize in EGYPT... fact: 82% of Egyptians support stoning as a punishment for adultery, 84% favor the death penalty for Muslims who leave the religion, and in the struggle between "modernizers" and "fundamentalists," 59% identify with fundamentalists. (the last one is troubling) what is the military's role? Will they jump in bed with their brotherhood crowd or maintain order long after the transitional period? There are many unanswered questions ya Nuune.....but one thing is certain, goldie's goons will finally take a shower and sleep in a real bed tonight while al-kingpin boards his yacht and works on his tan....
