Egyptian anti-government protesters, right, clash with members of the Muslim Brotherhood group as they prevent them from reaching the parliament in Cairo on Jan. 31, 2012. Hundreds of Egyptian protesters demanding the end of military rule were prevented from reaching parliament by backers of the Muslim Brotherhood, which holds the majority in the assembly. Activists had called for a march from Cairo's Tahrir Square to parliament.
NBC correspondent Ayman Mohyeldin reports:
They are scenes reminiscent of Egypt's 18-day revolution that toppled the 30-year rule of Hosni Mubarak.
Men and women, young and old, Muslim and Christian, rich and poor, secular and conservative … all back in the symbolic heart of Egypt’s revolution, Tahrir Square. They are also in cities all across the country.
But the unity seen during Egypt's revolution in 2011 has been replaced by widening differences over where the country stands one year later.

The United States needs to get involved immediately. There is a shortage of good Egyptian restaurants in this country.
The new improved Obama policy: "More rubble. Less trouble."
The Muslim Brotherhood is a supremacist cult and is not interested in coexisting peacefully with other members of society. Every country has its rendition of the "Brownshirts" who always start by presenting themselves as an equal rights organization then later jockeys into a controlling position on the socio-political front.
Muslims are a people and a religion of oppression. Look at how women are treated in their culture and you know what they are about.
Europe will face the same take over in the coming decades as the Muslim populations out number other groups. Democracy is rule by the majority, which they will use to oppress any non-Muslim groups.
