The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest Islamic movement and the founder of Hamas, has set up a network of political parties around the country that eclipse the following of the middle class activists that overthrew the regime. On the extreme fringe of the Brotherhood, Islamic groups linked to al-Qeada are organising from the mosques to fill the vacuum left by the collapse of the dictatorship.

The military-led government already faces accusations that it is bowing to the surge in support for the Muslim movements, something that David Cameron warned of in February when he said Egyptian democracy would be strongly Islamic.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, warned on Sunday that the direction of Egyptian politics was anti-Israeli. He told diplomats last week that Egyptian officials – including Nabil al-Arabi, the foreign minister – were pandering to political militants by branding Israel as the "enemy".

Formed in 1960 on the estate of William F. Buckley, Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) is the nation's first, largest, and most recognized conservative youth organization.

In 1962, Ronald Reagan joined YAF's National Advisory Board, because he believed it was necessary for conservatives to stand up and fight for their beliefs.

Later President Ronald Reagan accepted the position of YAF's Honorary National Chairman, an honor he often referred to during his speeches to YAFers.

That was then. This is now.

Today, YAF is known sometimes as the "green berets" or "special forces" of the conservative movement, YAFers are committed to fighting for the values and princples that make our great nation. We remain unquestionably faithful to our founding document the "Sharon Statement." And we identify, recruit, train and educate young Americans everyday so they can "Carry and Pass on the Torch of Freedom" for all future generations.

While other groups organize another poorly attended meeting, YAF organizes the protests, writes the press releases, fights the leftist adminsitration, and meets the lawmakers -- all before dinner. We are conservatism at it finest.

The backbone of YAF is the local chapter organization. Whether campus or community-based, YAF chapters make a difference through petitions, protests, activism, debates, publications and the hundreds of other ways YAF fights for conservative values and principles.

"Thank God for the young Conservatives. As adults, their constant vigilance will be necessary to guard against covert intrusion by Progressives who are always waiting for opportunistic, unprincipled quests to undermine the standards endorsed by our Founders...[T]hese young patriots are well on their way to becoming our hope for the future. Their ventures to promote conservative ideals are praiseworthy and promising. Our hopes for a better tomorrow are the aspirations of our youth today." - Genevieve at "The Bold Pursuit"
