The view from inside Tahrir Square

Hossam el-Hamalawy

Egyptian blogger Hossam el-Hamalawy, whose Tahrir Square pictures Photoblog has been featuring since last week, says in a telephone interview with msnbc.com's Meredith Birkett that while some protesters are maintaining their vigil in the square full-time, others are making time in Tahrir Square a steady, but not constant, part of their lives, coming and going around other obligations like work and family.

You can see more of El-Hamalawy's pictures and read some of his obervations here.

Far from benign, the Brotherhood is committed to death-cult jihad in the cause of widened Islamist rule, was the progenitor of Hamas and central to Islamist radicalization among the Palestinians. And its popularity was evident in that impressive 2005 parliamentary performance, achieved, it should be stressed, despite the Mubarak-orchestrated unfavorable circumstances.
