Забыли упомянуть - здесь должен быть глагол соверш. вида.
Yeah, you're right. They deliberately stress the point their uprising has nothing to do with the Islamic Brotherhood so as not to put the Western journalists off too much, I guess. As usual, the "radical elements" would spend most of their time in an opposition, so it's no wonder they are welcomed at this point to help overthrowing the present regimes. But once the opposition would gain the power, the former opposition would convert to the bureaucrats and would get rid of those "bros" as standing with some kind of "ideals" in their way to the hard-earned corruption benefits. At this point, it's been stressed the opposition is mostly the secular youth.
Yes, youth, but how secular really? Whose word do we have for that. A recent study (last year) has said that of Egyptians:At this point, it's been stressed the opposition is mostly the secular youth.
77%: Believe thieves should be flogged or have their hands cut off (Qur'an 5:38 prescribes amputation.)
54%: Believe men and women should be segregated in the workplace
20%: Think suicide bombings are sometimes or often justified
95%: Say it's good that Islam plays a large role in politics
82%: Believe adulterers should be stoned
84%: Believe apostates from Islam should face the death penalty
So, given this, where are these "secular" youth coming from? Keep in mind the 1979 Iranian Revolution was largely a youth movement too and now look.........one of the "youth" that keep American Hostages for 444 days is the insane President of Iran who calls for a worldwide Islamic caliphate.
