Democracy and secularism.
Doesn't sound very right-wing to me.

The Daily Star - Opinion Articles - Tunisia's revolution was led by the secular middle class
I'm guessing it's similar forces at work in Egypt. Kinda hard to confirm it since the entire country's in lockdown right now. We'll see when the dust settles.

Egypt's riots were not intentional. It wasn't a revolution, just a protest. A protest that got stomped on. There is no connection between the two groups.

Actually, it's just about every single opposition group - the single largest happens to be right wing but they aren't all.

My point was, the right isn't always responsible for oppressive governments.

It will be interesting to see how far this thing spreads geographically. Maybe it won't be limited to the Arab countries. The Great-PIIGS countries of Europe, perhaps?

I don't know, I still think it's something bigger. What other than inherent societal problems in the Arab world could cause the entire area to erupt as it is currently? Like I said before, decades of repression have created a powderkeg, Tunisia set it off, and now it's completely burning - in Tunisia, in Egypt, in Yemen, and in Jordan. Sure, Yemen and Jordan might simply be protests now, but if the revolution in Egypt is successful, the revolutionary mindset could domino into them, as well.
@video - Wow. I'm speechless...wow... I think I may have shed a tear.
