Well,I went down with my dad, who was courageous enough to take me with him -without telling my mom. He finally gave in after hours of begging. We actually went down after the police retreated from Tahrir Square ( there were three days of shooting and tear gas and all of this, then they retreated completely leaving the Tahrir square for the protestors), so it wasn't really that scary; I was just very enthusiastic.

Hmm, to be quite honest, I thought it was going to take a longer time. I had no idea it would end that quickly. I thought it was going to last at least a month; but the turning point was during the third day, "The Friday of Anger" where a lot of protestors were killed. The shooting resulted in more people going down to take revenge for their friends and families. They didn't fear anything. It was after this day, that the Tahrir Square was filled every single day, with more than a million protestors!

I don't think we (the protestors achieved anything). The Muslim Brotherhood took over everything and claim they have started the revolution. They are just a bunch of hypocrites and liars; they'll do anything in the name of Islam to gain power and control.

I hope this is enough. :D

Around 90% of the Egyptians are Muslims. The rest are Christians. When we talk about religious, we must differ between extremists and normal Muslims. There are a lot of religious Muslims here, but not all of them are as extreme as the Muslim Brotherhood or the Salafi extremists. These two groups have formed political parties and have gained a lot of control during the past two years and want to apply the rules of Islam in Egypt; just like Saudi Arabia does these days.

Thanks a lot :)

My future hope is that we differ religion from politics in this country and start understanding criticism and sarcasm.

Yes, atheists have a lot of trouble here. I remember there was this one case earlier - like 4 years ago- . He was discriminated, and was on all the media. Every single Sheikh - like a priest, but in Islam - went out and kept insulting him and said he would burn in hell.

It's very disappointing.

Yes,yes; I totally agree. The MB have hijacked the revolution; this is the right term I 've been looking for all day :P The MB however are not as extreme as you'd think. There might be some extents, but it's not really that extreme. Anyway, I guess we're here to stop them from doing that.
