So, you would like leave it to a Islamist to do right thing to protect minorities? The constitution should be totally Islamic while every elected leader would have the discretion to choose whether he/she would like to protect minorities? How can that be so good for a regular citizen? Should Muslims be ready to take that kind of attitude as a minority when they reside in a non Muslim secular country?

Islamists are rallying behind Morsi. That tells us a lot.

This is not news. Muhammad Mursi came from religious leaning "Brotherhood". What I like to see is that, he goes back to authentic teachings of Islam and offer unparalleled protection to Coptic Christians and Jews of Egypt. It may take some time to iron out current issues in Egypt. We have seen similar concerns about Turkey as well. But it seems they have done a wonderful job of establishing democracy and meet expectation of ordinary people.
At the end of the day, meeting expectation of common people is the real challenge for any party.
Judging by our current environment, I do not blame people to worry about so called "Islamists" but Algeria, Tunisia also have similar parties and they are doing just fine.
If President Mursi fails to perform, the vibrant people of Egypt will vote against him. So as a well wisher of Egyptian people, I like to see democratic institutions maturing there and protecting common people from dictators.
The ghost of Mubarrak is coming with a different flavor bringing with it more hopelessness.

>>>>>>>>> Last two years people of Egypt earned my respect. Even recently when they felt any attack on their democratic rights, they can out at Tahrir. So I am sure they will carefully watch current leaders and guide him whenever it is needed.

Islamists are rallying behind Morsi. That tells us a lot. Egypt is going to be an Islamic country with limited civil and human rights for women, non-Muslims and other sects within Islam. The ghost of Mubarrak is coming with a different flavor bringing with it more hopelessness.

Al-Azhar, Sunni Islam's leading authority, to be consulted on "matters related to Sharia" Christianity and Judaism to be the main source of legislation for Christians and Jews Religious freedom to be limited to Muslims, Christians and Jews Limits president to two four-year terms of office
>>>>>>>>> the last clause is the safe guard for democracy in Egypt. It is way too early to support or oppose (Logically) against the current government. Since religious freedom for minorities (Christians and Jews) are there, let us see how they are implementing these ideas.
