Latest results from the Egyptian elections indicate that Islamist parties are likely to have a strong majority in the new parliament.
The political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood and a more conservative Salafist Islamist party are leading, while secular liberals are behind.
...the Salafists, who could take second place, have made no attempt to soften their uncompromising views. They want to ban alcohol, segregate men and women, impose full shariah law, and are openly contemptuous of democracy.
Democracy is not an end in itself. It is only a good thing to the extent that it protects individual freedoms.
We'll have to wait and see how Egyptians enjoy tyranny of the Islamist majority.
