Jadaliyya pubblica un interessante articolo sui numeri e le caratteristiche dei salafiti di piazza Tahrir.

Una citazione:

One interesting exchange I had heard was between two very veiled, very middle class women, one a political science professor, trying to convince a bunch of Salafis that “liberalism” was not “secularism,” that it did not necessarily involve separating religion from the state, and that “secularism” in the European sense was not really present in Egypt (I am not sure I fully agree with that, but that is what they said). It was quite animated but all very respectful: the first words I caught coming in were, “No one here is trying to yikaffir anyone, ma’am.” In other words, both groups were trying to argue that they had been misperceived, that neither was genuinely a threat to the other.

Fra l’altro la Gama`a al-islamiyya, firmataria della piattaforma di cui parlavo qui, nega di aver fatto un accordo per evitare slogan a sfondo religioso durante la manifestazione.
