(27,510 posts)The people rose up to demand a change and overthrew Hosni Mubarak. Elections were held and Mohamed Morsi was elected and promptly filled almost all governmental positions with members of the Muslim Brotherhood. His government then proceeded to impose an Islamic-backed constitution drawn up by the Muslim Brotherhood.
The people have risen up again and deposed Morsi. New elections will be held. But will the outcome be any different? The only leaders who seem able to tamp down extreme, radical Islamic groups who would impose the most stringent of Shira law on their governments are strong armed dictators like Morsi, Assad and Saddam Hussein.
Unfortunately the "non-believers" or "less devout" do not coalesce into any type of formidable, effective or influential organization, particularly when going up against groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, al-Qaeda or other Islamic militant groups.
