Well at least it's not the Salafists. I'm not a huge fan of the Brotherhood but they're hardly going to change Egypt into Saudi Arabia.

Saudia Arabia is actually the prefered form of government.

 

When asked which country, Saudi Arabia or Turkey, served as the better model for the role of religion in government 61 percent said Saudi Arabia. Only 17 percent choose Turkey while the remaining 22 percent responded that neither country was an appropriate model, according to a nationwide survey conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Global Attitudes Project.

Al Nour (the strongest salfist party) came 2nd in the parliamentary election with 27% of the votes. Brotherhood got 47,2% of the votes. I think it's a better indicator of what the islamists in Egypt want. or I hope it is.
