Today’s protesters new slogan is “Game Over,” not the traditional “Allahu akbar,” Arabic for “God is great.

These past few days the young people in Egypt have been protesting against their president of the last 30 years Hosni Mubarak and his authoritarian rule. Infamous for increasing government corruption in order to keep his presidency, extending police powers, violating constitutional rights, and legalizing censorship under Emergency Law the egyptian people are eager to see him go and have the gov’t allow a free and fair election this year.

Joining the youth in revolt against Murabak is Nobel Peace Prize Winner Mohamed ElBaradei who’s quoted saying “It was the young people who took the initiative”, question is, who sparked that initiative? Many would answer Amr Khaled did. A businessman who preaches the philosophy of a “purpose driven life” has led the youth in Egypt on a quest of “self-renewal through real Islamic values”. Referred to as “Egypt’s equivalent to Oprah”, Khaled hosts the first muslim reality show, has 2.1 million followers on Facebook, and a powerful internet presence (it’s no surprise the Egyptian government turned off the internet, in hopes of stopping the protests against Murabak) that has allowed him to inspire a generation of misled muslim youth to be heard and be proactive in changing their future.

While delivering messages like “Be a dreamer. Be a builder. Change your life. Shape your society. Invent your destiny” reads like something taken off of quotes.com it has definitely sparked a generation of young people to dare to dream and fight to make those dreams into a reality. With recent news of Murabak’s resignation it seems like the youth’s uprising is just the beginning of a new future for Egypt.
