Egypt, a new Iran?

The other title that I had in mind for this post was Fear of a fundamentalist Egypt. I think both titles make clear my many doubts about the "revolutionary process" taking place in the streets of Egypt right now.
Based on my little knwoledge of recent history, I think the Iran where the Iranian Revolution took place was not much different from today's Egypt. Both countries ruled by a corrupt, pro-Western dictator that was trying to modernize his people, but ruling them with an iron fist.

Unfortunately, fundamentalist muslims seized the revolution and turned it into an Islamic Revolution that resulted in the bloody, oppressive theocracy that we all know. One of the first things Jomeini did was murdering as many as he could of the progressist activists that had taken part in the revolution with the hope of a modern, open, democratic Iran...

I'm afraid the chances for an "Egyptian Revolution" to follow the Iranian steps are terrifyingly high. Egypt has been infected by fundamentalist groups since a long while. The Muslim Brotherhood is probably the best known of them, thought much less radical than the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, this group might not sound much familiar, but sure their disgusting, blood thirsty leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, is far better known for most of us.

This said, I think my fears of fundamentalists gaining power after a "revolution", either by violent or even "democratic" means are well founded. I need to say that having achieved power by "democratic" means should not make that fundamentalist government valid to us, on the contrary, it should invalidate the democratic process itself in that society at that specific time. I mean, medieval, illiterate, undershock... societies should not be considered eligible for democracy (do I need to remind you how a shocked, empoverished, humiliated German population raised the Nazi Party to power?)

Hopefully my predictions will be proven absolutely wrong, and a better (and that necessarily involves "Western friendly") Egypt will evolve from all this, otherwise, the only beneficiaries of all this will be those countries that will manage to attract the flow of tourist that would no longer be able to visit the beauties of ancient Egypt (who knows, in their absolute fanaticism and stupidity, fundamentalists could emulate their Afghan friends and dynamite the pyramids as the Taliban scum did with the Buddhas of Bamyan).
