So the Egyptians have voted in an Islamist. Should the real democratic loving Egyptians be afraid? Yes! However, this time, I don't think Egypt will end up like the IRI. The one huge difference is Egypt's military involvement/hovering over the situation. This is an element that was lacking when Khomeini came to power.
The Shah, because of internal politics and personal fears, created a military leadership that was not unified. Khomeini did not have to fear the Iranian military as much. There was only one major attempt by the Iranian military (Air Force) to intervene and it was crushed by the Islamist in a brutal fashion.
Conversely, in Egypt, we have a more unified military leadership that fears the Islamists. They will watch the Brotherhood closely and will not let them create a constitution that is meaningless as the case was with our genius democratic Islamists like Bazargan who gave Khomeni the country on a silver platter without realizing it. The Egyptian military knows that the Islamists will eventually try to use the "democratic system" to destroy democracy.
Stay tuned. It will get more interesting with Obama's weak policy towards the Islamists.
Obama (USA) is making the same mistakes as the Carter administration during the Shah. The liberal "democracy" loving Americans will never learn. Democracy is not for everyone. Especially for the poor uneducated Egyptians (unfortunately) who do not even understand the concept of democracy. I guess you have to start somewhere. If I was an Egyptian, I would say thank god there is a strong and unified Egyptian military.

The step-by-step process is the tightening of the Islamic noose around Israel's neck! Let's face it Israel is out of Sinai Peninsula and Southern Lebanon and they have erected a Berlin-type wall between themselves and Palestinians.
You are all putting you hopes in the Egyptian military as an instrument to restrain the Egyptian masses who are overwhelmingly anti-American and anti-Israeli.
Well then please yourselves!

Muslim Brotherhood leader Muhammad Mursi has been officially declared the president of Egypt. But under the terms of the military constitutional guidelines issued last Sunday night, he comes into office in the framework of a military government headed by Field Marshall Hussein Tantawi.
That is, all the doomsaying about Egypt turning into Iran is to say the least premature, since Mursi at the moment is more Tantawi’s vice president than anything else.

Egypt will eventually become a far more fierce islamic state than Iran and they will end their peace with Israel.
This is a step-by-step process. I fear that Muslim Brotherhood will be prevented by the military to govern properly and that eventually it will come to clashes.
I also think that the Muslim Brotherhood had far more than the 51% given to them.
But I am sure that the Jews will learn the difference between Arabs and Persians in due time.
