Most of the anti-Morsi protests in the street weren't due to opposition to Islamism per se, but on account of his incompetence. Egypt's infrastructure and basic public services fell apart completely under his watch.

Secularists remain a minority in Egypt, and there is no way for them to win in a free and open election in the long run. So the only way to maintain a secular Egypt is through force, for better or for worse.

Secularism is only one solution. A far more sustainable solution is a cultural rejection of radicalism.

That’s what happened. Millions rejected the Muslim Brotherhood.

That loss of face will be generational. Generations will remember the gasoline lines and hyper-inflated food prices under Morsi.
