Muslim Brotherhood and the Elections in Egypt
The Muslim Brotherhood, the group that spawned radical Islamism (see Sayyid Qutb), is playing a role in the elections. Egypt won't let them run candidates but they opted to encourage people to vote. Though they did not endorse a candidate they hinted that they are not Hosni fans.

Democracy ala Egypt, you can only vote any candidate that is okayed by the Government.
It is like ice-cream, ...... vanilla, chocolate or strawverry flavor is still an ice-cream, no ?

At least they can vote for something now and there are even opposition candidates. Yes the victor is a foregone conclusion and the most important opposition group isn't even legal, but it is a start. Mexico held sham elections for 75 years before the people had enough and had a real one...sometimes it takes baby steps.
