officials like Director of National Intelligence James Clapper who assured
us that the Muslim Brotherhood was a mostly secular movement. 


HOT AIR

od-appears-to-have-seized-the-egyptian-revolution/>  - Even some hard-nosed
realists might find themselves a bit surprised
<http://hotair.com/archives/2011/02/01/obama-green-lighting-muslim-brotherho
od-participation-in-egyptian-government/>  at how quickly the nature of the
Egyptian revolution changed after Hosni Mubarak fled:

In post-revolutionary Egypt
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/eg
ypt/index.html?inline=nyt-geo> , where hope and confusion collide in the
daily struggle to build a new nation, religion has emerged as a powerful
political force, following an uprising that was based on secular ideals. The
Muslim Brotherhood
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/m/muslim_
brotherhood_egypt/index.html?inline=nyt-org> , an Islamist group once banned
by the state, is at the forefront, transformed into a tacit partner with the
military government that many fear will thwart fundamental changes.

It is also clear that the young, educated secular activists who initially
propelled the nonideological revolution are no longer the driving political
force - at least not at the moment. As the best organized and most extensive
opposition movement in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood was expected to have an
edge in the contest for influence. But what surprises many is its link to a
military that vilified it.

But what happened to all of those young idealists in the street that drove
Mubarak out of power and put their trust in the military to protect them?
Well, they don't seem to be around any longer, but suddenly facial hair is
the new fashion on the street:

"We are all worried," said Amr Koura, 55, a television producer, reflecting
the opinions of the secular minority. "The young people have no control of
the revolution anymore. It was evident in the last few weeks when you saw a
lot of bearded people taking charge. The youth are gone."
