Faith in the future is a big issue for Egyptians, a lot of them believe that the world is cyclitic and that old empires and nations are progressing to the top of the cycle again. The "Arab Spring" for them was the opportunity/beginning for Egypt to start that rise themselves they have seen both India and China rising. The optimism was dashed by the new governments failure to move forward (it is arguable if any new government could/would have). Religion became an issue due to the elected governments mandate to Islamise Egypt,bearing in mind that coupled with this other parties refused to work with the muslim brotherhood. When the new elections are held and a new government is elected as it stands at the moment there will still be parties refusing to work with each other unless someone can get them ALL sat down together this disaster will rumble on and I feel Egypt will be infiltrated by the people even the egyptians do not want
