Oh for crying out loud, be afraid, be very afraid, don't step outside of the box or LOOK you will be stamped down by the evil forces of Islam. This site is becoming far too politically polar, and religiously polar. So many threads just trying to work various factions against each other.
The people had a right to do what they did, if in fact they did it and not our own CIA. However if these people want Sharia law, then so be it, its none of your business, if they dont, then they can ask for help and we would then be within rights to offer it.
Christians burned millions to death over the years, where is all the outrage there? In fact I dont put it past christians do murder in the name of fear and control now either. What is the difference? Different color of the same racism?

Oh, the extreme downplay approach with a dash of this site sux nowadays thrown in.
That is a clear sign that you do not like these types of stories posted or people discussing them here. It's a good thing you don't wield a censorship button on this site, that much is clear.
You are not clear what happened in the world are you? "The people had a right to do what they did, if in fact they did it and not our own CIA" you said. How are you supposed to debate something you do not understand? What if they did it knowing the CIA helped in some way but did it anyway?
Toss in a christians were bad boys back in the day and I bet you feel all better now, even though it has no relevance to this thread.
you can't just pick a handful of people and assume that everyone thinks like them, that is ignorant

The sample was designed to accurately represent the Egyptian population, they did not just choose people at random. The estimated error range is +-4%. Metodology is all in the pdf.
Even if they were wrong by 10%, which is more than double the error range, extremists still make up more than 70% of the population.

There are numerous schools of thought regarding what is and is not Sharia, with both minor and major disputes between them being common.
In a country where 82 % of muslims support stoning people for adultery and 84 % support death penalty for apostates, guess which one will it be..

Yep, I'd trust them as much as I'd trust Bush or Obama, and that ain't much..

Do you have some inside information that the poll was rigged? Pew Research Center is a respected organisation in the field of public opinion survey, so unless you provide evidence for your claims I have no reason to not believe them.
Or do you have other polls that say otherwise?

Muslim Brotherhood leader talks of applying Sharia law (In Egypt)
www.irishtimes.com
(visit the link for the full news article)
Deputy supreme guide Mahmoud Ezzat said the Brotherhood wanted to transform the country into an Islamic state once its political arm, the Freedom and Justice party, secured widespread popular support.
Al-Masry al-Youm , an independent daily, reported that Sheikh Ezzat also said the movement wanted to apply Muslim canon law (Sharia), but said “enforcement of Sharia punishments will need time and will only come after Islam is planted in every heart and masters the life of the people . . .”
I know that many here do not believe in the bible,and I don't know if you are one of them,
but in Isaiah19, these are the words of prophecy concerning the future of Eqypt in the last days.
Verse 2 I will stir up the Eqyptians against the Eqyptians,they will fight every one against his brother and every one against his neighbor,city against city,kingdom against kingdom.
Wasn't the above what we saw going down during the uprising,It was Eqyptians against Eqyptians.
Then for the confirmation of your thread title we see, that after the uprising we have verse 4
And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a hard and cruel master,and a fierce king will rule over them.
This also indicates the same order, meaning that the uprising in Eqypt will come first,then the fierce king.
According to the prophecy,the next thing we should hear about after the new leadership is set up,
Is this...,verse 5 And the waters shall fail from the Nile,and the river shall be wasted and become dry,
verse6 The rivers shall become foul the streams and the canals of Eqypt shall be diminished and dried up.
Interesting although the Aswan dam already destroyed the Nile in that no more silt travels downstream to re-fertilize the riverbank farmlands seasonally. That cycle is what drew civilization to the Nile banks and they purposely disrupted it. Makes you think of the stupidity of human progress. Of course the conspiratorial view is that this action made the nation dependant on world agriculture cartels.
The other prophesies could have been seen as coming before the time of the dam, and Mubarak was the fierce king. The thing about bible prophesy is that in every age people see parallels and believe they are witnessing the end times. The next generation will witness the Aswan dam filled with silt and useless, more mideast turmoil, and think the same prophesy is in their day.
On the other side of the aisle there are the nutjobs in Iran who think they are about to bring in the Mahdi, they just released a video for the dumb masses to soak up. Their signs are Yemen taken over by Islam, the death of one named "Abdullah" (probably the most common name in the Arab world like John in the West) in Saudi Arabia, and some leaders pushing their version of Islam down other peoples throats straight through Bahrain on into Mecca. When this fails miserably the cycle will start over again in future generations.

There are people who think Nero was the anti christ so all them prophesies are open to wide interpretation.
Cities get destroyed and burried over with time so techincally nobody ever inhabits the original city again. Lots of ambiguities make reading prophesies useless unless you claim to have some sort of divine understanding, then only people you can convince will ever believe you anyway.

You must be one of those hopey changey fellas, the angry left that got thrown under the bus.
You can't even attack my avatar without bias, you only see Bush. Hahahaha
And yet again you add nothing but anger and novice insults. The angry lefty infadels will be easy for them to round up should sharia rule come to the West in a big way. It's ironic that the angry left are cutting their own thoats sticking up for sharia at every turn.

Change is a part of life you say. That is ambiguous because, as you age you may lose your hair, your teeth, etc and society changes in advancements. There is a reason there are 7 billion people here now instead of less than one billion for thousands of years, it is because of progress forward.
Reverting society back to the stone age with sharia law is an example of bad change that can only be forced onto people.
If you are for that hope and change you better save some more for Obama again, he got lots of the same hope and change you can believe in, hahaha. Then get ready for the bus to role right on over you for a second time as he goes into more wars in muslim nations, keeps up the presence throughout the middle east and keeps the torture cells vibrating down in good ole Guantanimo.
