I have been thinking about the complexity of the what is going on in Egypt and Turkey. I know that the majority of the citizens of these countries are more critical of Shari'a law, as evidenced by the massive protests. Yet, the government of those countries have been trying to place more restrictions on their citizens. I find the protests promising, since the citizens seem to find the courage to protest. Yet, it is only with time that we will discover what Egypt's transitional governments will do. People and power are dangerous companions, especially if the people in power have big guns.
I have never agreed with Military coups, yet with some leaders, it is a necessary evil. I am just not sure if the people of Egypt are educated enough to make the break with the Muslim Brotherhood. Yet, I have seen that with the new Egyptian leadership has issued arrest warrants for members of the Muslim Brotherhood. Source: http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2013/07/04/mor...sman-says/
Both Egyptian and Turkish governments place restrictions on religious freedoms, so only time will tell if true religious freedom will be obtained.
