I'm worried. As I watch the coverage of the protests in Cairo over Mubarak I don't see any women in the crowds. Now, I understand that there is a large Muslim population and women are often sequestered from public life, but still, NO women? What's going on? This is ominous to me as the protests grow larger and more violent and seem to be made up of crowds of young males. The danger is that what may have started out as a protest against Mubarak's rule and a desire for reforms has now been taken over by radical Muslim interests who's aim is to turn Egypt into a Muslim Theocracy like Iran or Afghanistan before the Taliban was toppled.
I fear that they have moved in to take advantage of the instability within the country to put their own government in place. The problem is that their form of government would be far more oppressive and harsh than Mubarak's.
