There were several elements about this unprecedented political event that
stood out. First was the secularism of the whole affair. Women in chadors
and niqabs and scarves walked happily beside girls with long hair flowing
over their shoulders, students next to imams and men with beards that would
have made Bin Laden jealous. The poor in torn sandals and the rich in
business suits, squeezed into this shouting mass, an amalgam of the real
Egypt hitherto divided by class and regime-encouraged envy. They had done
the impossible – or so they thought – and, in a way, they had already won
their social revolution.
