The next few years.......
As I said in another post - this issue will play out over the next few years. There are some key points to watch.
The first being who writes the new constitution and what it says - what rights are protected. Does it tilt secular and protect everyone or does it tilt towards Sharia?
The second would be the election itself. What parties get a number of seats and which coalition is formed. Again tilted to Sharia or secular.
The next two would not be noticed by the MSM but are also key. The first is change in Military leadership. A couple of links around here went to stories about how big the Military industrial complex is in Egypt - and how the leadership is ridiculed at the lower officer levels. I think if the government moves against the military leadership they can count on the lower level officers keeping the troops out of it. Hey, take out enough leadership and your chances of promotion are better.
The second are the Coptic Christians in Egypt. If a more Sharia based government takes over look for attacks against them to increase. There are a lot of Christians in Egypt. Where would they go? Who would take them in?
The next couple of years will see a twitch of news here and a twitch of news there. We'll see who notices and adds 2 plus 2 and gets 4.
