CAIRO —Islamists hurled stones and shoes at Mohamed ElBaradei, Nobel Peace laureate and a secular contender for Egypt's presidency, as he tried to vote Saturday in a referendum on constitutional amendments. ElBaradei was hit in the back by a stone thrown from the crowd of hundreds but managed to escape unhurt and slammed as "irresponsible" the holding of a referendum without adequate law and order.
"We don't want you," the mob shouted, throwing stones, shoes and water at the former UN nuclear watchdog chief as he turned up at a Cairo polling station, five weeks after president Hosni Mubarak was ousted by mass protests.
"He lives in the United States and wants to rule us. It's out of the question," one of them said.
"We don't want an American agent," said another.

Hoisted by his own petard.

AAAAAHHHHHH - “Democracy”.
Everyone must get stoned...
.... agent of the US?
And these monkeys and parrots want “freedom”, “democracy”, rights (liberty) and other creatures of Christian-English philosophy?
What a bunch of jokers!!!
We’ll lose north Africa before Obama’s term has ended. With any luck Sarah Palin will not refer to it as a loss of an entire continent when she brings this loss to the attention of the American people.
ElBaradei, NYTimes 2/10/2011
Ah, the barbarian horde.
Western civilization, this is the foe that awaits us, the foe that must be dealt with in the harshest terms.
It is either that, or this will be their world, and that is all there is to it.
Yes, but did they stune him?
just guessing you have no idea what a petard is or how one gets hoisted
Um, after reading some other threads here at FR, it seems the Saudis and Egyptians have already turned against us; I can’t say we ‘lost’ what we never really possessed, if you catch my meaning.
Supposedly the Saudis have cut oil deals with the Chinese.
Obama is incompetent as President and is achieving what many Tea Party people want: for the U.S. to stop being used as the world’s police and bring our troops home.
So why don’t you explain it to us Mr Webster.
Ah, Moslem freedon fighters in action.
I lived in Egypt 1997-2000. Never heard of El Baradei until he showed up in Iraq for the UN.
The Egyptians call him the CNN candidate.
