Amr Selim in the Egyptian weekly Al-Osbou says this about terrorists who appear to be getting younger and younger: "He's a brother of one of the terrorists. He's been flooding us from the morning. And he refuses to reveal his group's infrastructure."
The pace of international reforms. By Salim Al-Hilali in the Saudi daily Okaz

"Those who organised and participated in these demonstrations are a group of hyper-anarchists who support terrorism and use it as a means to access power." -- Mohamed Abdel-Moneim, Rose El-Youssef

"This regime is unable to see the big picture. It cannot see what is going on around it, neither in the country nor the region... This regime is taking the current state of explosive anger in Egypt lightly..." -- Amin Youssri, Al-Arabi

"Political corruption has almost killed their [women's] cause, deformed our democracy and defamed our constitution by violating its very soul which calls for equality among all citizens." -- Al-Qabas

"They [male critics] justify their reluctance by pretending that women have no essential role in developing the course of history, thus should be considered non-existent." -- Zeinab Hefni, Al-Hayat

"One who fights to defend his existence in a huge, completely hostile world is justified in anything he does. This is the message sent to the citizenry by Sharon, the leader of a nation that possesses an army whose might is compared to that of a superpower." -- Ofer Shelah, Yediot Aharonot
