"The way out is via agreement on making the coming president stay for a shorter term, be it till the end of next year." -- Galal Aref, Al-Akhbar "The MB has a programme which could be presented to voters in Nigeria or Finland or anywhere else, whereas Shafik harped on the hearts of a frightened public by presenting a security plan." -- Mahmoud El-Alaili, Al-Masry Al-Youm "There is no difference between the behaviour of the MB and the NDP in bribing voters." -- Mona Mina, Al-Shorouk "What a paradox it is that the Egyptian people rose up against Mubarak after 30 years in power, whilst they are rising up against the Muslim Brotherhood today, less than one year after the Egyptian parliamentary elections." -- Tariq Al-Homayed, Asharq Al-Awsat "If the regime is so confident in what it is saying then why does it not let a team from the UN monitors participate in these investigations so that the result will be free from any suspicions?" -- Abdel-Bari Atwan, Al-Quds Al-Arabi "The images of massacred bodies in Syria are shocking to those who support or reject the Arab Spring alike." -- Al-Bayan
