Sabahi sounds like he won't risk running and it seems that the only opposition will perhaps be a token military figure. This isn't a democracy, you don't get a choice.

Someone like Ayman Nour, Khaled Ali, or even Hamdeen Sabbahi. Those guys could actually increase religious freedom while also trying to doing something to do the chronic upheaval and deadly social polarization. <br /><br />The Sisi crowd seems to just want to keep this political conflict going to distract non-MB, non-military factions from getting anywhere. Not to mention the fact that these same military leaders carried out the Maspero massacre in 2011.

Strange to think this.

Are they run by idiots? Do they actually think that their new masters will throw them some crumbs in the parliamentary election, or that Sisi's clique will allow them any role in governance? There is even an actress arguing that Sisi should act like Hitler and try to instill fear in the population. <br /><br />Sisi is bringing blood, fire, steel, and bullets, not magic and rainbows. The kind of following he has amassed displays behavior more appropriate in children than adults. <br /><br />The same argument that no one should be allowed to challenge Sisi will be used again and again in future elections to freeze out political diversity.
