The crowd who cheered the beheading of the Catholic priest in Syria recorded it on their cell phones and put it on the internet. Many in the cheering crowd were women and children.

I think that is what has happened in Egypt. Morsi won the election but then he seemed to want to shift the country to a more fundamentalist Islamic direction and the young and educated people there objected fervently. It was the same thing with the "green" revolution in Iran, but there the "status quo" was so entrenched in the 30 years since the fall of the Shaw it was NOT going to give up its position. I was VERY happy to see the military move in in Egypt. I don't know how it's going to turn out there, but I hope for the best.
