Debate Over the Status of Shi'ites in Egypt

See the attached article (MEMRI: Shi'ites in Egypt) from Memri.org regarding the status of Shi-ism in Egypt, a predominantly Sunni country, where rising Islamist sentiment threatens the current order over the next 5 years, and increased tensions with Shiites could spill all over the Middle East (I go back to my long held view that Egypt, as the most populous Middle Eastern Sunni country, has an interest in what happens in Iraq, especially if it helps Shiite Iran). See also my September 27th posting from Vanity Fair, "The Egyptian Volcano", which is perhaps more scintillating reading.
