I do not like to rain on your parade. But As one who was born and grew up in a Muslim country, I can tell tell you for sure that Egypt’s future is not any better than IRAN. Look at Turkey today, in so called democracy. The Turks have been trying for over 100 years to modernize. Starting with the Ottoman Sultans in late 19th century. Even with force modernization between 1920 and 1960′s. Turkey now is going backwards. Turkey not only the single Muslim country that recognized Israel, but the very early ones, even before Greece and may other advance countries. And look where is Turkey today? The entire Muslim world is in a state of chaos due power struggle between, fundamentalist and the modernist. Unfortunately for the time being the fundamentalist are winning. And the west including USA are among the useful idiots who are being fool by the Islamist.
