Egypt’s Islamists On the Verge: Will They Make Campaign Rhetoric Reality?

Agree as the Egyptians this week in the third and final round of elections for the lower house of Parliament, the country is to establish, since in his first Islamist-dominated government and the second Islamist Parliament in the region beginning to be elected Arab revolutions in the last winter .

In Tunisia, the moderate Islamist party swept the elections Ennahda. In Egypt, the more conservative Muslim Brotherhood take over the majority. And in Libya, the results of future surveys will likely yield more conservative results.

In any case, the politics and rhetoric thrown for decades by Arab dictators "Islamist opposition took finally to the test set to get:. Give them skills Many Egyptian voters say that the Islamist experiment is a good thing will be" The people who we vote, we voted for today, just for them again if they do well, "said Ahmed Mohamed Ali, a retired civil servant who cast his vote in an industrial suburb north of Cairo on Tuesday. But liberals and youth activists warn The test could result in some shocking changes to the relatively secular system behind the ousted President Hosni Mubarak left.

Islamist leaders were slow to the ruling military Council crackdown on liberal and NGOs condemn attacks last week, and many of their supporters at the polls on Tuesday argued that NGOs deserve to receive foreign funding.Officials from both the Muslim Brotherhood and the ultra-Islamist party hold-Nour probably the second largest majority also said they would not allow that to be a Christian president. "This is not bigotry. It is a logical argument behind this," Saad al-Husseini, a senior member of the brotherhood, freedom and justice party Al-Arabiya television said on the eve of the vote. And some Islamists, including the deputy head of the Muslim Brotherhood have called for a review of Egypt from 1979 treaty with Israel, arguing that the Egyptians made the right to negotiate new every agreement without the consent of the people (in this case have signed a contract with Mubarak, predecessors and colleagues autocrat Anwar Sadat.)

All of this could signal an imminent and radical change in both diplomacy and national law for the greatest country in the Middle East. Or not. The Brotherhood has repeatedly stressed that it will seek to form a broad coalition government.And one of the group's most popular politicians, who will almost certainly held his office after the vote this week, all the rhetoric seemed to dismiss as little impact on reality. "Parliament has the right to revise what was disclosed without public consent," said Mohamed El-Beltagy TIME on Tuesday. "But to work does not necessarily eliminate." Egyptian voters and the majority of whom are active with an Islamist-Parliament seem eager to see how the experiment plays chosen.
