A Secular Egypt?

Be careful what you wish for. Especially when it was you have already had to endure for rather a long time. Think of the reserved parliamentary representation for Armenians and Assyrians in Iran, and think that that could be the lot of your Egyptian outpost of Christendom, too.

If you play your cards right with the Muslim Brotherhood, as Anglophile as when Britain founded it, historically (and at the grassroots still very much) committed to public ownership and to wealth redistribution, and with an enormous international vested interest in doing a deal with you. You will not have this chance again for a very long time, if ever. Make the most of it.
