Brotherhood ouster in Egypt may clear way for stricter Islamists

CAIRO -- The military coup that ousted President Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood this week could open the way for an even more conservative Islamist faction to make a run for the Egyptian leadership.

Nader Bakar of the ultraconservative Nour Party backed progressive Islamists during last year's political campaigns but may be less inclined this time around to stifle aims of bringing the purest form of Islam into the politics of a country whose population is 90% Muslim.

As Egypt again braces for elections, Nour and other Salafi parties can be expected to advance their agendas against a revival of secular and moderate voices rising from an opposition backed by the army.

The protests was directed at the Muslim Brotherhood.

The aspect of islam that so many muslims miss is that there is no limit to how extreme it can become.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
