Google executive Wael Ghonim, who emerged as a leading voice in Egypt's uprising, was barred from the stage in Tahrir Square on Friday by security guards, an AFP photographer said.

Ping to Egypt list.
Used and abused and left by the side of the square.
The Egyptians saw how he was trying to take the ‘Glory’. It was ugly, it had nothing to do with him. Serves him right.
Thank You for the ping.

However, a twitter posting by Mr.Ghonim on January 25, in which he evinces admiration for Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a radical Mulim cleric, raises the question as to where Ghonim's real sentiments lie. Is he truly a voice of moderation?
