Well, that's democracy for you: it has side effects. Like getting people in power who don't share your views.

Egyptians and Jordanians don't like Israel, big surprise. I'm not sure why some people are trying to make this one of their recurring topics. Diabolizing Arab/Northern African citizens? But what good could that possibly do? Discrediting the Arab/North African pro-democracy movements by association? Again, what's the point. It only makes sense in terms of further diabolizing Islam and muslims. Noone seems to be talking about how bigoted the Copts are. (I'l sure they'll be bigoted on at least a single issue)

Also, these people aren't in power, nor are their voices likely to ever be heard by those who are.

You don't know whether the Copts are bigoted, but assume they are very bigoted. Classic behavior of a bigot and of blaming the victims. It's really amazing how low some will sink to defend Muslim misdeeds.
And you don't think that Egypt will become a democracy?

no, the real problem occurs when a country's majority is willing to kill those who don't share their religious beliefs.

Any evidence of that?

Bush's naive attempt to make Iraq a beacon of democracy to the Muslim world?  get real...

You know what's more naive than trying ti make Iraq a beacon of democracy to the Muslim world? Believing that this was the purpose of the war.
