My question is...why is the DOW going up on the news that Mubarak stepped down if radical Islam is the probable result?

Because a radical Egyptian government won't happen tomorrow and because there was no serious bloodshed.

There is still some chance of a good outcome assuming the continued rational behavior of the armed forces, and assuming none of the neighbors decide that a war with Israel would keep similar popular aspirations among their own populations at bay.
