[quote]Earlier the state news agency, amid high tension over the election of a new president, quoted medical sources as saying the former head of state, aged 84, was "clinically dead". That description was used also to Reuters by a hospital source.But three sources in the military and security services, which retain control following the revolt, said Mubarak was being kept alive and said they would not use the expression "clinically dead" to describe his condition.
General Said Abbas, a member of the ruling military council, told Reuters, that Mubarak had suffered a stroke but added: "Any talk of him being clinically dead is nonsense."
Another military source said: "He is completely unconscious. He is using artificial respiration."
A security source also gave the same account and said: "It is still early to say that he is clinically dead."
The confusion over the state of health of the former leader came as his long-time opponents in the Muslim Brotherhood claimed victory over a candidate drawn from military elite in a presidential election held at the weekend.
Results have not been published, and supporters of Ahmed Shafik, Mubarak's former prime minister who was running against the Islamist Mohamed Morsy, said it was he who had won.
State news agency MENA had earlier cited medical sources to say that Mubarak was clinically dead. His heart had stopped beating and could not be revived.
Later, however, the agency, citing medical sources, said a medical team was still trying treat a blood clot on the brain, adding that he had not left the intensive care unit at Tora prison, where he had been held since being sentenced to life imprisonment on June 2 for his role in the deaths of protesters.[/quote]

I kind of feel as if he "got away" with all the things he did in Egypt, virtually dying right after being sentenced like that.
*Suddenly life support stops working*
Huh? They announced his death on TV last night. I guess not...

Egypt was a whole lot better before this incident.
I give 5 months, if no elections are held, I lose hope. However, I'm not giving up this quickly.

"military and islamists"
One, it's [i]Muslims[/i], and two, just because they're Muslim doesn't in itself make it bad

I'd still prefer a constitution that lists human rights instead of religious duties and their punishments.

If you seriously believe that the US is even comparable then I think you need to take a good look at the US constitution

Actually, you're wrong. It [I]is[/I] 'Islamists' precisely because of their political ideology being taken from their religion. And yes, this is in itself bad.
Turkey, for example, is a secular state consisting mostly of Muslims. The majority of them are not Islamists.
Is it just me, or does Islam seem to be particularly vulnerable to fundamentalism in the present.
I know in the past Christianity has been rife with it (crusades and all)... but Islam just seems to be the new 'hardcore' thing for extremists.

Because the 1st amendment totally states :"God says we get freedom of speech if we believe in Jesus"

I truthfully admit that I've never taken the time to read every part of my constitution, but from what I have read, there's no mention of marriage anywhere in it
If I'm wrong I'd be very pleased if someone would correct me, as I'm obviously missing something very important
