"The president hasn't improved the standard of living of Egyptians. There are some people that are very rich -- maybe 1% -- and the rest are all poor trying to find food," Sharif said, but added that he is worried about the influence the Muslim Brotherhood could have in a post-Mubarak era.
The Muslim Brotherhood "were trapped and now are starting to come out," he said. "They have 20% of the population and it's frightening for me."
Sharif was born in 1932 to a wealthy Christian family in Alexandria and grew up during the port city's heyday as a cosmopolitan melting pot of religions and ethnicities, combining Arab, Greek, Italian, Lebanese, Jewish, Christian and Muslim influences.

by Esfand Aashena on Mon Jan 31, 2011 07:45 AM PSTEsfand is fine ;-) If you add jaan that is very nice of you. I was also Anonymouse, not Anonymous! In any event Marx Brothers would be appropriate here! In addition maybe if Curly can pound Mubarak's head a few times he'll get it!

LOLDK jaan EA chiyeh?!
by Esfand Aashena on Mon Jan 31, 2011 07:25 AM PSTIf you prefer I can call you Darius jaan. As for Mubarak's jomhury the guy is a total lunatic! Presidents are not for life anywhere in the world except in Egypt! What kind of ego maniac want to be called President for life?!
So you can't blame this "Jomhury" on Jomhury style of Government. As we learned in the land of Johmuries you can remove a President if the Senate votes to convict a President for getting oral sex and lying about it!
Much easier than Monarchy or Prime Minister! Berlusconi is a Prime Minister isn't he?! and he is having all-you-can-get-oral-sex and even taunts everyone for it!

EA Jaan You should know better by now ... ;0)
