Is the revolution in Egypt an Islamic revolution, are the people there striving to bring Shariah?

Question

I have been watching these protests and can't make any sense of what is the agenda of the people, I do understand that they want mubarak out but mubarak is just one man, when one puppet leaves another one will come, the only revolution that I believe would be successful is the Islamic revolution where the people want to change the corrupt man made laws ( including democracy ) with the law of God, having said that I would just like to say that I have immense respect for the Egyptians at least they are doing something.

Answer 1

There are many agendas now here in cairo..

I pray to Allah Al Qadeer.. to make this Land a Land of Islamic Shariah.

I know this is close to impossible.. for many many factors.. internal and external.. but Allah swt is Ala Kull Shay2in Qadeer.. and nothing is too big for Allah swt.

Answer 2

No, No and No!

Mubarak receives aid (bribe) from the US to stay on friendly terms with Israel.

Evidently, Mubarak fought in the 6 Day War against Israel, but Egypt found out later that the Israeli victory came with some quiet Military assistance from the U.S.



I am a male believer born and raised in the U.S.

I challenge the intellectual capacity of those who have employed the Shariah to the extent that women are oppressed in the process.

This is not to say that I disagree with the Shariah, but I do have the intellectual capacity to place the History of the Shariah into a clearer context.

During the time of the Prophet (SAW) he mentioned that the Quarish and other tribes were pretty azz backwards (if I may be blunt). They were even burying their female children alive, if the newborn was not a male!

So the question is: How do you reform an undereducated and backwards people?

Was their Mental, Emotional and Spiritual condition as evolved as today?

The answer again is No!

My point is that not every aspect of the Shariah is required today, because we have evolved into a more Civil Society, as opposed to remaining as a wholly Barbaric one.

Answer 3

No it's not a Islamic revolution like what happened in Iran in 79

Common people are trying to bring Democracy in Egypt

they want a more nationalistic leadership

The Muslim brotherhood on the other hand wants a Islamic revolution and bring Shariah

But it's unlikely to happen as they are not the leaders of the protests and

They have only 20% support of the population according to 2005 polls

Answer 4

The problems in Tunisia, Egypt etc are just the Beginning.



Wait and watch.



These are the harbingers of the End of Islam.



They will force the rest of the World to retaliate and to come down upon Islam with full force and consider all the local Muslims to be acceptable collateral damage.



Yusuf Estes, Zakir Naik, Barak Hussein Obama, Joy Behar, ABC, Yvonne Ridley, Jihad Jane and all those people are just the Beginning of the End for Islam.



Watch what happens when the Movement to Stop the Spread of Islam, BJP, etc etc gain more and more Strength thanks to the antics of all these people.



See for yourself what happens when all the rest of the World write off all the uslims as acceptable collateral damage.



These things will only bring down the Wrath of God.



These inept and ineffectual Politicians are the very reason why the rest of the World has now taken this stance and it will lead to certain Doom.

Answer 5

we're all praying for shari'a. and basically if democracy prevails .. its more likely that ikhwan will come up and insha-Allah slowly they'll work for a more islamic government based on peace justice and equality unlike mubarak that set up a govt so anti islam and based on injustice and inequality.

may Allah bring the Haqq.

aameen.

salam alaikom.

Answer 6

no, LOL. It's secular, they just want Mubarak's regime ousted for multiparty democracy. Within that multiparty democracy Islamist and secular parties will run in elections, and who knows who will come out on top, but for now, it's political NOT religious.

Answer 7

No Egyptians want to move on to the 21st century, not go back to the dark ages, had you been keeping up with their protests youd know a main issue of contention is the lack of a proper electoral system in Egypt.

Answer 8

to understand what happen in Egypt you must know this facts :

1- Mubarak is pro-American who govern Egypt since 1981 , and wanted to put his son as new president on the presidential election on September 2011

2- he make Egypt poor , stole Egypt fortune with his Family , friends ,his company , sell Gas to Israel , make other Arab countries hate Egypt , and make Egypt is

Police country, where internal inelegance can arrest anyone and kill anyone and abuse anyone

3- Egypt is most threaten for Israel due to big population 90 millions and big army, and Egypt fortune of resources and smart labor force also Egypt

Defeated Israel 1973 completely, while Egypt and Israel have peace agreement but Israel fear from any other coming government that may do not respect

The peace agreement and give Israel the chance to keep killing innocent people in Palestine like usual, so America , Israel , U.K want Mubarak and do not

Care about democracy, human rights, just want to keep their advantages with Mubarak

4- Egyptians make civil revolution against Mubarak system; it started to collect people through face book, tweeter, etc , most of them is youth 15-30 years old

Who do not find job while they are well educated , abused by police , and want to build a new future of Egypt

5- He stopped internet, mobile, satellite; arrest BBC, cnn, Aljazeera TV agents

6- He pushed 1 million dirt criminal police forces to stop the protests

7- the protests arrange the Friday of rage 28 of Jan , and show historical courage never seen in this century and defeated the police completely

8- Mubarak pushed the army, but the Egyptian army history is clean and did not ever fire a bullet on Egyptians protests

9- Mubarak take of the police from streets and open jails for criminals to make looting in the country so people fear and ask for the police help

10- The protests make groups like police to secure the country and arrange traffic and arrest criminals

11- Mubarak put a vice president and new government to make people calm

12- Protests refuse and they want the following:

1- Mubarak must go

2- Canceling the emergency law which gives permission to arrest anyone this law is 30 years implemented and give the dictators the chance to arrest anyone without courts

3- New constitution that secure freedom and democracy, human rights

4- Reelect a new parliament

13- The army leader said, we will not ever fire on people and the people is free to show their choice (the army leaders is natural now)

14- American hypocrite government started to comment at first with supporting Mubarak cause he is a friend of them and Israel but now they start to show some support to Egyptian protests , now after they sure that mobile cannot continue and protests is so strong after they become more than 8 millions , so America try to find a soulation

To be sure that the new president will not be anti-American/anti-west

15- America still supports him until now and gives him every facility to stop the revolution

16 – Mubarak and business men related to him hire criminals and secret police to make a massacred in liberation square and kill as much as protests as they can

And destroy Egyptian museum which hold 75% of human historical ancient antiques which value trillions of dollars

17- The revolution will success and America will lose their power step by step in Middle East because its hypo crate and foolish policy

18- Revolution started in Tunisia and then Egypt and will continue to all Arab countries and this make America and Israel fear, because they support all dictator systems in Arab countries

19- This revolution not for specific ideology (it's not like Iran revolution), protests is Muslims, Christians, liberals, communist , every methodology in Egypt

It’s the biggest CIVIAL protest in history 8 million (10% of population) , it's for democracy , freedom , human rights , so why America /EU keep Quit?

Revolution until Victory, Egypt is Uprising, Long Life Egypt, the oldest Civilization in history
