Islamist Group Is Rising Force in a New Egypt
New York Times / MICHAEL SLACKMAN

 The Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist group once banned by the state, is at the forefront, transformed into a tacit partner with the military government that many fear will thwart fundamental changes...It is also clear that the young, educated secular activists who initially propelled the nonideological revolution are no longer the driving political force — at least not at the moment..... “There is evidence the Brotherhood struck some kind of a deal with the military early on,” said Elijah Zarwan, a senior analyst with the International Crisis Group. “It makes sense if you are the military — you want stability and people off the street. The Brotherhood is one address where you can go to get 100,000 people off the street.”

Most genuine secular Egyptians were calling for the referandum over the Constitution to be set at a much later date.

This is one of the advantages of extremism in such unstable situations.
