1. Brotherhood style democracy threaten violence for candidates
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (04.08.12)
they don't like. The Mullahs stay in power in their "Islamic democracy".allowing only approved candidadetes.Sounds like Mr Grass approves nothing "must be said".
2. Democracy Islamic style
ben eil ,   USA   (04.09.12)
The Brotherhood will use democracy to seize power, then they will attempt to take over the army. Once done, like 1930's Germany, democracy will be dismantled, all opposition will be crushed and preparations for a conflict will begin and result in a world war. We've all seen this movie before the only difference is nazi racism, bigotry and hatred for jews will only be replaced by islamists.
3. Democracy Imposed by Islamists
Anshel ,   Toronto, Canada   (04.09.12)
Is this kind of democracy was envisioned by Obama and Clinton?
4. Suleiman will either yield and bow before the
Israeli 2   (04.09.12)
brotherhood leadership due to fear of backlash and /or assasination.
5. A civil war is coming soon more than syria
XXXX ,   egypt   (04.09.12)

PLZZ
6. Egypt's Islamists and democracy
Maurice ,   Montreal   (04.09.12)
The Muslim Brotherhood presidential candidate says if Omar Suleiman is successful to be elected, it would trigger a second nationwide revolt! That is how the Moslem Brotherhood respects democratic election results! The Islamists can never be democratic! The whole thing about Egypt becoming democratic is a joke!
7. Impossible to insult terrorists, simply can't be done.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (04.09.12)
8. I seriously doubt MB takeover of Egypt
leo ,   usa   (04.09.12)
is that bad for Israel. Probably just the contrary.
9. Good breaking news!
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (04.09.12)
The Egyptian military support this guy. He'll need a ''Pope-mobil", mind.
10. Idiots
Mohab ,   Cairo   (04.09.12)
Obviously some idiots in here don't realize that Omar Suleiman is more powerful than the Muslim Brotherhood and all other Islamists in the country combined.
11. Number 10 Mohab
Adam ,   London   (04.09.12)
Certainly hope that is true Mohab
12. Egyptian Civil War ? Good luck with that !
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (04.09.12)
13. Does Obama care?
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (04.09.12)
Obama eliminated Mubarak and only then realized how much he damaged American interests. He is now forcing Suleiman to be president, knowing that thousands of Egyptian civilians will die. Does Obama care? Apparently not.
14. #10 MOHAB
Iranian Jew ,   Los Angeles   (04.09.12)
What do you mean powerful? He can start riots, correct? You call that power? He can ruin your economy again for another 100 years while he gets richer. Is that power? Mullahs in Iran do the same thing, but the average Iranian in Iran is poorer than what they were back in the 70s. Knowledge is power, my friend. Controlling and holding all the people hostage by threatening a civil war is weak and cowardly. That si not power.
15. "Revolution" of Democracy, or "Revolution" of Islam?
Scott ,   Haifa   (04.09.12)
Answer: Islam Many of us are not ignorant of your agenda!
16. A nice bit of hijacking
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (04.09.12)
The Muslim Brotherhood is already rewriting history.It was not THEIR revolution;they hijacked it just like the Iran revolution was hijacked by Mullahs. Also,it's not the Muslim Brotherhood's business to decide who may and who may not rub for election,not even to bar repulsive candidates like Suleiman .Another hint that,if elected once,the Muslim Government will rule over Egypt like the Iran regime rules over Iran. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
17. In case anyone had doubts so far,
Mara ,   Vienna   (04.09.12)
the MB shows us now unmistakeably what THEY think democracy is all about! Preferable onyl Islamist parties!
