| Mr Khan said: that their time shall come as demographics switch in their favor |
I can't say I'm at all surprised. Polls had showed for a long time that most Egyptians wanted more religion in their government, not less. Most people could agree that Mubarak had to go, but that was all they could agree on. The secularists never had a chance for anything other than living under the thumb of the Muslim Brotherhood. It's funny to look back and think about all the smarty pants who insisted at the time that the Brotherhood had no political aspirations.
But what did you mean here? Is there evidence of Egypt actually trending more secular demographically, or were you just making an inevitablist assumption that younger Egyptians will eventually want a more secular nation? My gut feeling is that demographics will favor the Islamists who treat women like little more than walking wombs over the liberals, but I don't really know.
