				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Picture-20.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-113375" title="Picture-20" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Picture-20.gif" alt="" width="375" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>As Egypt approaches its first post-revolution elections on November 28<sup>th</sup>, Tahrir Square is on fire again.</p>
<p>Violent clashes erupted as protesters demand the Military Council step down and hand over authority to a civilian body. Feeling the revolution has gone sour, protestors want to see some change.</p>
<p>Arab Spring revolutions have already granted power to Islamists across the Middle East. It <a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2011/11/21/religious-intolerance-the-real-middle-east/">made</a> the Muslim Brotherhood the main political force in Tunisia, Egypt, and now in Syria.  After years of focusing on charity and social work, the Muslim Brotherhood senses that it is the right time to go into politics and is acting accordingly.</p>
<p>Years of experience give the radical Muslim Brotherhood an edge. Access to devoted religious crowds is yet another advantage. But as these are the first free elections in Egypt, no one knows how the Egyptians will behave.</p>
<p>The people&#8217;s frustration from the slow pace of change in Egypt is the burning fuel, and the Brotherhood only had to light one match to blow everything up. The Brotherhood has been busy overseeing one last effort to convince people to go out and vote. The campaign <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2011/11/how-egypts-muslim-brotherhood-is-already-winning/248642/">includes</a> evening prayers, a ready crowd, religious fanatics&#8217; chants and marches.</p>
<p>With the military council controlling Egypt, little reform was achieved after the removal of Mubarak. The evident rift between the Military Council and the people of Tahrir Square cannot be ignored. Religious tensions and clashes add to the feeling that the revolution has gone off track.</p>
