Hundreds of Islamists threw stones at Mohamed ElBaradei on Saturday as the secular contender for the Egyptian presidency attempted to vote in a referendum to accelerate Egypt’s elections. The incident and the results of the referendum reveal the radical direction Egypt is heading in.
“We don’t want you,” the throng shouted when Elbaradei first arrived at a polling station in South Cairo, and the people began throwing stones and other items at the Nobel Peace laureate and former UN nuclear watchdog chief.
