Egyptian Democracy


                                                        Egyptian Democracy

On July 4, 1776, our Founding Fathers declared their independence from British "tyranny." Today, in Egypt, the Egyptians are celebrating the overthrow of the tyrannical reign of President Morsi.

During his electoral campaign, President Obama stated that the Muslim Brotherhood, who believe in a holy alliance between mosque and state, is "largely a secular organization." Recent events suggest otherwise.

I've come across an interesting article from the Economist that I thought some of you might be interested in reading. After reading the article, I'm wondering if you think that Egypt will follow Iran (who had its own Revolution back in 1979) and exchange democracy for an Islamic Republic?
