No matter who is declared the winner in the election, Mustafa Saeed (ph) insisted that the protesters will fight the military.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We are fighting for the revolution. We are fighting for a clean society in Egypt.

PIZZEY: The Muslim Brotherhood set out its call to fill the square, counting on the anger against the military to appeal to all segments of Egyptian society.

This is as much a test of the Islamists` ability to rally secular and leftist parties to their cause as it is of the military. Normally, the Muslim Brotherhood prefers back-room bargaining to confrontation, but they need the power of the street as a negotiating tool.
