Reviving Revolt: Crowds back on Tahrir after year of yearning

Thousands of Egyptians are in Cairo's now-iconic Tahrir Square to mark a year since the uprising that toppled President Mubarak. But there's another reason it's a landmark day - as almost 30 years of emergency rule is partially-lifted, although some key police powers will remain.

i think in every country every population who goes online knows the truth about all of our governments. They are all corrupt and they are all marching us towards their end goal. It has nothing to do with what the people want, but at least Egypt is making a stand. What do we do in the USA? watch reality shows of gingrich vs romney for which ego should get the republican nomination. Sad for us. Go egypt.

there is no god religion is just a system of control for human cattle who are owned and enslaved by their debt slavemasters, man evolved from apes, apes are animals and animals have fear, fear leads to the desire to control, why can't anyone realize this?

@hsmrmae "and the Islamic brotherhood are the people I would trust most with my homeland!"- This why you people will never change.

[luckyStrike89ru]

@hsmrmae How do I know that Arabs are from the Peninsula? .... Because it is history, it was recorded in writings etc. You think I made it up. You should know your own history, kinda sad. And yet you accuse me of being brainwashed by fox news blah blah. I see propaganda when there is one, even if its our own. I just know Arabs and muslims. Went to school with them and worked with them and I've been to middle east. So I know enough. I dont need no talking heads telling me what to think.

[luckyStrike89ru]

@hsmrmae Huh? How the hell is there a choice in Sharia law? If you're found guilty, there is no choice for you to get your head chopped off.

I said that even if the minority scores LOWER on the exam, they get the position simply because of their skin color. Read next time.

Canada, Europe, US w/e. Its still a Western country. Your parents made a good choice.

[hsmrmae]

@luckyStrike89ru U know Americans aren't the center of the world! We dunt care about what u think about our Arab countries cuz were gonna fix shit with or without ur opinion! And just cuz it's an Islamic country doesn't mean that were gonna wanna blow u up!

[hsmrmae]

@luckyStrike89ru They fed u what they wanted u to know! The prime example is fox news and freaking bill orielly he made a verbal attack campaign against a 9/11 victims son just cuz he said that the US shouldn't invade Iraq! Everyone heard the kid say that but the follow had him claiming that the kid said that the us was behind it....

[hsmrmae]

@luckyStrike89ru And believe me if it were up to me I would most certainly separate state and religion but it's not and the Islamic brotherhood are the people I would trust most with my homeland! Ur government has installed such fear in u that it's ridicules they used ur media against u!

[hsmrmae]

@luckyStrike89ru Just for wanting to build an Islamic community center in Texas regular family Muslims were named terrorists and the fact that was approved by city hall had Americans going to the news and crying wolf! Ur knowledge astonished me..... *sarcasm* were u there to witness these Arabian peninsulans colonize Africa and even IF it only proves that we've been on this planet longer than u!

[hsmrmae]

@luckyStrike89ru U dumbass! Sharia law is based on choice! U make the choice on whether or not you're punished using it atleast in the Quran it is! Oh pleasee now u moan about discrimination cuz the black guy got the job? Ever think that he just has more to offer?! An I don't freaking live in the US ewww! I am Canadian and sure as hell proud of it! And I didn't make that choice my parents did ages ago. Who r u kidding?
