After Mubarak: A Time to Look Ahead
By: Sohail Hussain

As a Muslim-American, I believe that the regime change in Egypt is an opportunity for a real revolution. Cairo was the birthplace of Al-Azhar University, one of the first universities, founded around 970, at a time when Egypt was a cradle of scientific learning. Sadly, today the country lags behind.

But now with President Hosni Mubarak’s exit, there is a chance for Egypt’s youth to take control of their destiny by embracing science and technology. Just look at the technological revolution that helped make America dominant in the world.
