This is not an Islamic uprising. The Muslim Brotherhood is approved by just 15 percent of Egyptians -- and its leaders get barely 1 percent of the vote in a presidential straw poll. Asked to pick national priorities, only 12 percent of Egyptians choose sharia (Islamic law) over Egypt's regional leadership, democracy, or economic development. And, when asked to explain the uprising, the issues of economic conditions, corruption, and unemployment (around 30 percent each) far outpace the concern that "the regime is not Islamic enough" (only 7 percent).

Surprisingly, when asked two different ways about the peace treaty with Israel, more support it (37 percent) than oppose it (27 percent) -- although around a third say they "don't know" or refuse to answer this question. Only 18 percent of Egyptians approve either Hamas or Iran. And a mere 5 percent say the uprising occurred because their government is "too pro-Israel."...

Do you think that at some point, you will both learn to spell and to contribute substantive and salient points to discussion? If so, when do you think that might be?

What did I misspell?
 
What did polls say in Iran in '79? What do the polls say in Iran now?

Goddamn useless article by a useful idiot.
 
There were polls in '79?

You think polls were just invented? wtf

Aside from derailing your own thread with nonsense, do your homework on the history of modern Iran. Then read the article you posted with renewed vision.

Feel free to provide the polls which you've referenced. Your comments are worthless without them.

Congrats on your promotion to typical forum troll who should be educating herself rather than acting like a fool.

You are a winner. Pat yourself on the back.

BTW I could have guessed as much simply by your mentally challenged sig line. No seriously, brilliant.

So, I guess this means you don't have access to these polls that you claimed existed, amirite? And, you're attempting (poorly) to discredit polls in Egypt that undermine your (kinda paranoid) worldview.

Duly noted.

Don't think I didn't see what you did there. I didn't fall off of the forum turnip truck yesterday.
