Egypt's Brotherhood says it leads in vote count

"The Muslim Brotherhood said on Wednesday it was leading in the initial count of results from the first round of Egypt's parliamentary election and one source in its party said it had secured 40 percent of votes cast for party lists................."

Yes, folks, there are moderates in Egypt. But their voice in government will be drowned out by the radicals. If the MB gets 40% they and the other radical parties will be able to form a majority government.
