Islamists Win Large Majority in Egypt

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/151953

Muslim Brotherhood's party has 47% of votes, Salafi party has 25%.

"Islamist parties won a large majority of the votes in Egypt's election to parliament, held Saturday.

The Head of the Election Committee said that the Freedom and Justice party, which represents the Muslim Brothers in Egypt, received 47% of the total vote, and Al Nour, a hard-line Salafist party, has another 25%.

The Muslim Brotherhood is expected to receive 235 seats out of the 498 seats in Parliament. Al Nour will receive 121 seats.................................."

72%? That's a lot of % if you ask me.
