Yes, youth, but how secular really? Whose word do we have for that. A recent study (last year) has said that of Egyptians:

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.
