"People flocked to take part in the parliamentary elections and accepted the results. Why are some threatening to protest against the results of the presidential elections if their candidate does not win?" -- Mohamed Ali Kheir , Al-Akhbar "Political maturity and popular awareness will not be achieved in this election. They need years and years of political, social, religious and economic effort." -- Newton, Al-Masry Al-Youm "Egypt has an appointment with history as people head to the ballot boxes to choose their president for the first time in thousands of years." -- Mohamed El-Zorqani, Akhbar Al-Youm "Certainly, the Egyptian army's surrender of power to the next president will not be a simple and mechanical process." -- George Semaan , Al-Hayat "Ballot boxes are now preoccupying people's minds, as well as the aspirations of different political trends, and so we see the media filled with rhetoric about democracy being the saviour." -- Abdallah Al-Otaibi , Asharq Al-Awsat "It is understandable that growing tension in Syria would affect Lebanon, but the country appears on the verge of a new civil war more violent than the previous one." -- Abdel-Bari Atwan , Al-Quds Al-Arabi
