its not a mystery that we have to wait years to unravel
we will soon find out who egyptians want to rule over them, the poles are just predictions and predictions are not going to BE the outcome. So believe what you wish, but soon it will all unfold.
Let's just pray for Egypt to end up a free country. No matter what I hear, I have to think that everybody ultimatly wants Egypt to be free, of course, except those who want Egypt to be under the restrictive laws if Islam that govern the rest of the countries in the part of the world.
Prayer is one simple thing everybody can do.

self-serving propaganda such as this at every opportunity we get..kudos to you dear Raye..btw, it really heartens me that Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence is finally catching on in the world, though unfortunately after much mindless bloodshed. Keep writing, remember what I said at the onset of your serious illness, that you just might have a higher calling, I meant it, best, Ash

Sensationalism..no, not deliberate, but sorry anyway..
Sarcasm sparked by great frustration..so weary of the fear mongering and hatred....the truth is not changed because one is human; 'tis a greater power - truth - enduring beyond our frailties.

I may have been wrong in my post today...
Regarding the poll's details, I first thought 1000 Egyptians were polled. Now it appears maybe it was 1000 citizens total from all seven countries. How many were Egyptian is unknown?
"Collected in April and May of last year for Pew's Global Attitudes Project, the report described Muslim attitudes about religion in politics in seven countries -- Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon, Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey.
A sample group of 1,000 was surveyed in face-to-face interviews."
