Thousands of Egyptians were massing in Cairo’s Tahrir Square early on Friday for a mass rally against the military rulers’ proposed “supra-constitutional principles” that seek to shield the army from public scrutiny.
Liberal and Islamist group, including the powerful Muslim Brotherhood movement, announced they would hold the rally after the government went ahead with its plan to draft overarching constitutional principles.
Tents were pitched and sound stages set up as protesters returned to Tahrir square, the epicenter of an uprising that ousted President Hosni Mubarak from office in February, in what they said was an attempt to put “the revolution back on track.”
“There will be a big revolution tomorrow,” said a protester demanding rights for Egyptians killed and wounded in the revolution.
These are links to learn about what is happening in Egypt. There are 34 groups in opposition to the Supreme Council of Armed Forces Supra Constitutional Principles which are listed here:

The Presidential elections will not end the problems for Egypt. It will be after the Parliament is elected and a Constitutional Assembly can be formed and then a new Constitution could be ratified before the people see any relief for their grievances and all of that will not occur before 2013.

CAIRO: About 50,000 mainly Islamist protesters flocked to Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Friday to press Egypt’s military rulers to transfer power to elected civilians after the cabinet launched a move to exempt the army from parliamentary oversight.
OWS needs to be aware of the situation on the ground over there before sending people to monitor their elections. When people get arrested in countries such as Egypt, they don't get issued desk appearance tickets and released a few hours later. They could be there for a long time if revolution breaks out.
We talking LAST RIGHTS or what. I thought this was all about getting rid of the Coptic Christians in Egypt., or was that just a temporary flourish. Read my lips, boys and girls, MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, no more Tahrir Square, no more visits to the pyramids just a lot of sand and camels. Welcome to revolution at its finest.
I am IN AWE of the courage and perseverance of our Egyptian brothers and sisters. GOOD LUCK! You are in our thoughts and our prayers.
You might want to read by lips too - MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD. No more of this brother-sister stuff, meeting in Tahrir Square at all hours of the day.
You suffer from selective reading, apparently : it's N O T all Muslim Brotherhood..

Are you by any chance anti-Muslim? Islamophobic? Do you know any thing at all about the Muslim Brotherhood?
Just a word to the wise - sorry I wasted it on you.
The wise can do without your kind of "wisdom"...
Muslim Brotherhood, oh joy!
