The new Egypt will certainly find itself uniquely aligned. Who now can really sympathize with their position? They can't move into the virulently anti-Israeli camp as it is, since it's populated by Assad's Syria and Iran, both of whom violently oppose the Arab Spring democratic values. Erdogan's Turkey might prove to be a good guide for the new Egypt, and perhaps Lebanon, which is also trying to take a middle gear as an anti-Israeli democracy

Iran actually wants the Arab spring to hit all the U.S. backed regimes, particularly the GCC nations, so that they can gain a foothold against American influence. But the democratic values of it, yes, they oppose that.

Honestly, my favorite Muslim leaders whom I think all Arab countries should take notes from are of course Erdogan (though the secularists hate him as they believe he's trying to completely undo Turkey's secular nature), Malaysia under Mahathir Mohammad, and the Emir of Qatar. If you don't know about Qatar, read these to get a brief idea:

Erdogan's seemed kinda shady, mostly because he called Omar al-Bashir "a good Muslim," though i don't know much about the merits of his domestic policy
