Egypt risks the fire of radicalism

Renewed violence by those who feel short-changed by democracy and secularism is a real prospect if Morsi is humiliated.

FULL disclosure: I am not a fan of the Muslim Brotherhood. I oppose their politicisation of my religion. I take comfort in the fact that millions of Egyptian Muslims are protesting against the ideology and policies of a government led by a Muslim Brotherhood president. Islamism is being roundly rejected by ordinary Arab Muslims. That’s the good news. But there is bad news, too.
