Tens of thousands of Egyptians filled Cairo's central Tahrir Square for a rally Friday that turned into a show of force for ultraconservative Salafi Muslims and other Islamists in their growing rift with liberal activists.

Can't say that I'm shocked by this, but I must say that I am disappointed that it is turning out the way many predicted. But then again, Egyptians that want to live in the 21st century usually leave Egypt.

Wut? Seems to be not turning out in any particular way yet. Let them create the Society they want first, before judging it.

Liberalism is pretty strong in Egypt.

I smell civil war?

Hopefully it follows Turkey's example with the military siding with the secularists and crushing the Islamic extremists that want to create another islamic republic.

Some countries can handle democracy. Some can't.

Egypt is of the latter.

I hope the military understands that, and steps back in.
