Egypt's Islamist parties win elections to parliament (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-16665748)

QuoteThe final results in Egypt's first post-Mubarak parliamentary elections confirm an overwhelming victory for Islamist parties.

The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) won the largest number of seats under Egypt's complex electoral system.

The hardline Salafist Nour party came second.

The liberal New Wafd and the secular Egyptian Bloc coalition are some way behind them.

Egyptians voted in three phases over a six-week period to elect the 498 members of the People's Assembly. Ten further members are appointed by the ruling military...

Well they wanted the power, now they've got it. We can but wait and see what they do with it.

I would think Israel has that all sorted out.
