    CAIRO (Reuters) - Hundreds of Egyptian protesters and Muslim Brotherhood supporters clashed near the group's headquarters in Cairo on Friday, and at least 30 people were wounded, medics said.

    Columns of riot police stood guard as chanting protesters holding flags and banners packed streets around the Brotherhood headquarters, footage on Al Jazeera and state TV showed.

    Earlier in the day, Brotherhood supporters had arrived in the vicinity on buses and were showered with stones from the protesters, and Brotherhood supporters threw stones back, witnesses said. About 30 people were wounded in the fighting, Mohamed Sultan, the head of the ambulance service, said.

    Its another Saturday night and those Egyptian boys are out for some good old fashion Muslim fun. Lets beat each other up. Seriously though Mursi and the Muslim Brotherhood went way way overboard in their bid for power. What did they expect when the nation was equally divided in how to run the govt?  …

    Islamist Mohammed Morsi, leader of Muslim Brotherhood, wins Egypt election

    Egyptian supporters of Presidential candidate Mohammed Morsi celebrate after the presidential election committee announced his victory, in Tahrir square, Egypt, June 24. The Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammed Morsi became Egypt's first freely elected president, the election commission said, sparking mass celebrations in Cairo where tens of thousands of his supporters had gathered. Morsi, an engineering professor, won 51.73 per cent of votes in the June 16-17 presidential run-off, commission head Farouk Sultan said.

    Thousands of Brotherhood supporters burst into cheers on Cairo's Tahrir Square, waving national flags and chanting "Allahu Akbar!" or God is Great, greeting a dramatic victory. Morsi will be sworn in on July 1, according to the election timetable.

    Morsi, a 60-year-old, U.S.-educated engineer who spent time in jail under Mubarak, won the first round ballot in May with a little under a quarter of the vote. He has pledged to form an inclusive government to appeal to the many Egyptians, including a large Christian minority, who are anxious over religious rule.

    Egyptians pack Cairo's Tahrir Square ahead of election result

    Supporters of Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate, protest against Egypt's military rulers in Tahrir Square and celebrate a premature victory on June 23, 2012 in Cairo, Egypt. Egyptian election officials have postponed the announcement of a winner in last weekend's presidential run-off, stating they needed more time to evaluate charges of electoral abuse that could affect who becomes the country's next president. The official result is expected on June 24.

    Egyptians gather in Tahrir square.

    Five hundred days after they overthrew Hosni Mubarak, Egyptians will finally have a new president on Sunday, the first they have chosen freely and who may well be from the Muslim Brotherhood, which Mubarak and fellow generals spent a lifetime fighting.

    The result of last weekend's run-off, due in an election committee news conference at 3 p.m. (1300 GMT), will be historic for Egypt and the Middle East. Many think Islamist Mohamed Morsy will become head of state of the biggest Arab nation, reshaping the region after decades of Western-backed military rule, even if the armed forces are not giving up their control just yet.

    The Brotherhood may react angrily if it is instead Ahmed Shafik, a former air force commander and Mubarak ally. His victory many Egyptians, and millions across the region, would fear as a mortal blow to last year's Arab Spring revolution, despite his assurances of also wanting an inclusive government.

    A supporter of Mohammed Mursi, the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate in Egypt's presidential election, at the party's last campaign rally for the presidential election in Cairo on May 20, 2012, the final day of campaigning.

    Reuters reports — Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood showed off its ability to rally support with choreographed campaign events throughout the nation on Sunday in a final push to clinch victory for its candidate in this week's presidential election.

    Egypt's first televised presidential debate thrills viewers

    With official campaigning ending on Sunday, fireworks cracked in the night air and flames flared from the front of the stage as Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Mursi arrived to address the audience of several thousand gathered in central Cairo, outside Abdeen palace.

    The Muslim Brotherhood prevents Egyptian anti-government protesters from reaching parliament in Cairo

    Khaled Desouki / AFP - Getty Images

    Egyptian anti-government protesters, right, clash with members of the Muslim Brotherhood group as they prevent them from reaching the parliament in Cairo on Jan. 31, 2012. Hundreds of Egyptian protesters demanding the end of military rule were prevented from reaching parliament by backers of the Muslim Brotherhood, which holds the majority in the assembly. Activists had called for a march from Cairo's Tahrir Square to parliament.

    NBC correspondent Ayman Mohyeldin reports:

    They are scenes reminiscent of Egypt's 18-day revolution that toppled the 30-year rule of Hosni Mubarak.

    Men and women, young and old, Muslim and Christian, rich and poor, secular and conservative … all back in the symbolic heart of Egypt’s revolution, Tahrir Square. They are also in cities all across the country.

    But the unity seen during Egypt's revolution in 2011 has been replaced by widening differences over where the country stands one year later.

    Khalil Hamra / AP

    Egyptian women shout slogans during a rally outside the Parliament in Cairo on Tuesday. Egypt's newly elected lawmakers took aim at the country's military rulers Tuesday, accusing them of trampling on democratic norms and overstepping their powers by passing laws, including a crucial one regulating presidential elections.

    Muslims are a people and a religion of oppression. Look at how women are treated in their culture and you know what they are about. Europe will face the same take over in the coming decades as the Muslim populations out number other groups.
