Senior Muslim Brotherhood member elected Egyptian parliament speaker

Senior Muslim Brotherhood member elected Egyptian parliament speaker

"A senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Saad al-Katatni, was elected as Egypt's parliament speaker on Monday, in the first session of the newly-elected assembly.

Al-Katatni, who received 399 votes out of 498 cast, is a member of the brotherhood's political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party, which won the largest number of seats - 47 percent - in recent elections................."

80% voted for him. Pretty close to the 72% MB/Salafi numbers with a few not so radical folks.

Look for the 20% to be set off to the side.
