In reply to the discussion: Final results confirm Islamists top Egypt vote [View all]TigerToMany
(124 posts)3. I am seriously starting to think that some people maybe don't deserve democracy.
Egypt had the chance to make things right, but they didn't and instead they have created a radical, right-wing regime of their own choosing. They are on their way to a shariah police state.
The frightening thing is that I look at Egypt, and see what might be happening next year if the Tea Party has their way. There would be no more freedom and equality for all peoples, those of African descent would oscillate from every tree in America, and the radical right will be goose-stepping to a dark, hopeless dictatorship ruled by biblical law.
