Very sad but I don't want the Islamists back in power.

I am not big fan of radical islamists either, but those were moderate muslims and the ones performing the coup are the Mubarak old guard, highly corrupted and that fucked the country for decades. I am not so sure this will be for the best...
After all Egipt has a majority of muslim followers, specially in the rural Egipt. This looks like a Civil war cooking and both your country and mine know how this looks like.
