Egypt is about to shoot itself in the foot

So the Egyptians have a cause to get rid of Mubarak.
They want freedom and most communications have been on Facebook and other social services for their rallies and discussions.

So we now have Mubarak in Jail and there is 2 contenders for the President and leadership role.
1. A guy who is an ex-Mubarak minister
2. An Islamic almost fundamental person who wants to run the country on an Sharia basis.

So the Egyptians have a choice of the following:
1. A guy who has the same values as Mubarak, which is really a dictatorship
2. A guy who wants to make Sharia Law, which already exists in Egypt, but will be much stricter. This means that the openness that they crave, or the more Western values, will be restricted, so actually is the opposite to what they have fought for.

My guess is that as the Egyptians are not the brightest sparks will go for the Islamist and shoot themselves in the foot.
