Quick – what happens when you let a culture moving towards militant Islam vote?
Preliminary results in Egypt’s elections Thursday gave the leading
opposition group, the Muslim Brotherhood, a record 19 percent of parliament, with the ruling party and its allies holding an overwhelming majority after a four-week election with unprecedented political violence… The results mean the Brotherhood – a group that is banned but tolerated with restriction – has won almost six times the 15 seats it held in the outgoing assembly.
Final toll: 11 killed, hundreds wounded.
