Muslim Brotherhood undergoing generational rift in Egypt
The young members of the coalition are united by a single goal: ensuring Egypt's transition to a civil democratic state. More than four months after Mubarak was forced from office in mass uprisings that erupted January 25, Lotfy and other young Muslim Brotherhood members say they are feeling increasingly alienated from the Islamist organization that shaped their political beliefs and influenced their behavior for most of their lives.
"We are not in agreement with all of the principles adopted by the older members of the group," Lotfy acknowledged recently over espressos at Groppi's, a tea room in downtown Cairo. "Our motives are different ... we have Egypt's best interests at heart."
"I will certainly vote in the next legislative election, but my vote won't go to the Islamists," said Salem Fathalla, a mechanic in Imbaba's working-class district. "All they are after is a power grab."
"The loyalty of the Brotherhood lies with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Iran; they don't really care much about the welfare of this country," said Taher Abdel Fattah, a bearded, 56-year-old taxi driver. "No one knows what their agenda really is," he added.
Clinton: Syria running out of time to reform

Syria is running out of time to reform and will face more organized resistance if it does not, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Friday.
Speaking at a news conference in Lithuania, she also said she was disheartened by reports of fresh violence in recent days and that the Syrian government's decision to allow one opposition meeting in Damascus was not sufficient.
Asked about the apparent contradiction between permitting the meeting while pursuing a tank offensive in the north, Clinton said: "It doesn't appear that there's a coherent and consistent message coming from Syria.
"They must begin a genuine transition to democracy and allowing one meeting of the opposition in Damascus is not sufficient action toward achieving that goal," Clinton, standing beside Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite, told reporters.

"The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day." - E. M. Bounds
