The Muslim Brotherhood is at pains to calm fears of what an Islamist president might mean for Egypt and the region at large. Appointing both a woman and a Coptic Christian is an attempt at a show of unity, and a rule by consensus.

Huh?

Egypt "definitely" will not be an "Islamic Republic," Deif said Monday.

good for them! this would ease tension in the region better than 70 billion a year like we were doing...

That is a massive step. Really incredible if he does it. He may be a major power player in the region if he does do that. I think all sides would flock to him as a mediator.

I'm not sure which will be the bigger pleasant surprise: Him actually following through and doing it- or him managing to keep his head attached if he does!

Tokens...if he follows through the candidate(s) will be vetted and on short leashes.
