Between who though? Normally one would think between the people and the army, but in this case the army has little love for the ruling political party and will likely not intervene to protect it. I guess things went bad so fast people , after already having a protest, went to the limit this time.

That's what come's from having an election so soon where the only people ready were the Muslim brotherhood. Only a third of Egypt is Muslim and even then not all of them want to live under religious law, of course the pro-Islamic laws and poor economy caused people to revolt.

A third of Egypt? Much much more than that i would think

A third, perhaps, are traditional Muslims, but something on the order of 90% are Muslim, i would think.

But that's what would make the civil war both interesting and horrific, none the least because it would inevitably be hijacked by global jihadis (again, the people running from Mali and currently making trouble on the Niger-Libya border)

Yes, definetly got that number confused with another country. Still, like turkey, most of the nation believes that religion and government should remain seperate and that chosing religion and forcing religion unto people are two different things.
