Are you suggesting the revolution in Egypt was designed by some "savior" waiting in the wings and not a grass roots uprising?
You're ignoring the institutions that exist in Egypt, unlike Iran or elsewhere in the Middle East.
Most notably, an independent judiciary and a strong military that has no ties to any religious groups but a vested interest in the economy and therefore stability.
The country also has a long and strong tradition of not having interest in a fundamentalist theocracy.
The students, the workers (of all classes), the military and even the Muslim Brotherhood all have a vested interested in ensuring stability.
IMO, your just mimicking the right wing fears, particularly Beck and his warning of "coming caliphate."
