Very good as usual

Yes you have some crazy islamists in Egypt that have no regard for the glorious history and monuments of Egypt but almost all Egyptians have great pride in their history albeit Allah had no like for the Pharaohs and Indeed Milad Hanna was very correct that Egyptians always try to have a balance in regard to their past history be it the classical period and their link to Africa or the Greco-Roman period and their link to Europe or the Arabic/Islamic period and the link to the Middle East and the Arabs and yes those that put the Arabs and their civilization ahead are in charge now but i do believe that the pendulum is bound to swing back to the center

Now what I really believe is going to be the win more elections or get out of office for el-ikhwan would be the economy which i suspect is not going to get better at least in the short term

In the meantime Tantawi is not going any where
