i need help from members

Vote whoever you like, I seriously doubt brotherhood can turn egypt into theocratic state. Egyptians are too modern for that.
So if you find the brotherhood candidate talking sense and reliable, you should not eliminate him from your choices.

do you know how many jobs in Egypt rely on the tourism industry? do you have any idea how much % of GDP comes in from revenues directly and indirectly from tourism?


the Muslim Brotherhood isn't stupid....many in their ranks are PhDs, well-to-do businessmen, physicicians, engineers, university professors, etc. It is a moderately conservative organization (on ideological grounds)....they are not fundos, they wont take Egypt back to the stone ages

but my impression is that relations with the US will be existing and business as usual, but not as ''usual'' as it was under Mubrarak. During a business trip last February to Cairo, I met their ''Deputy Supreme Guide'' (Dr. Shater whom i had mentioned in an earlier post)

this is a project we did with JICA (i really can't delve into details)....it was Muslim Brotherhood reps who were demanding ''why there was no support for SMEs'' (small business enterprises) -- which is definitely what Egyptian private sector and int'l financial institutions like World Bank and ADB should be focusing on

small businesses are what drive not just Egyptian economy but even the economies in western world -not just the big corporations...

On education, Brotherhood guy told me there was no link (under puppet murarak regime) between educational attainment and the needs of the economy. In Egypt for many decades, you would find people (some with advanced university degrees) driving taxi cabs just because they were over-qualified but couldn't find jobs that took use of their skills. The main challenge would be to improve the quality of education and its relevance to the market economy.

The education committee of Parliament is headed by a member of the Salafist (Al-Nour) party. However, majority of the members of the committee are composed of non-Nour members. Overall, Brotherhood (FJP) heads 9 out of 19 committees of Parliament.


as a Pakistani fond of Egypt (I fell in love with that country same way I fell in love with Turkiye) I wish them best of luck for their future....some of the problems Egypt faces are similar problems we face, so i can't help but sympathize with them



egypt - very interesting country to follow.......though obviously as Pakistanis, our first focus should be on ourselves














p.s. i still remember i had a talk with FORMER Pak ambassador to Egypt...during 2005 earthquake, Muslim Brotherhood guys came to Ambassador aide's desk (inside the embassy) unloaded a briefcase with around $50,000and told them ''this is for our affected Pakistani brothers.....what you do with this cash is now between you and God''

Mullah's who are pro-west are the worst of their kind.

At least secular don't use Islam to be friends with the west, but Mullah's who support the siege on the Palestinians are the worst.

i will vote for amr mosa he was the minister of foreign affairs for 8 years he did a good job at the time and he is a secular i was hoping for someone better but what can we do at least this will give us 4 years untill a good candite comes

yes but the peoblem is what if ? they have the parlment and the unions too much power wont be good in one party

I always choose candidates on their economic policies because social and economic problems are above all. Youths of the countries need jobs and prosperity, not confrontations with foreigners.

yes but i want balance i dont want all the power in the hand of one party

The brotherhood are not corrupt, and seem the best out of a bad bunch, maybe they might act like the AK party of Turkey.

may act no one knows what would they do

thank you all very much for your advices
