I agree on the side of the secularists. The allah freaks have it easier. They simply throw their silly book around and insist that everyone adhere to what they determine to be what it says.
Egypt is an excellent example. 90% are islamic of one stripe or another. The difference is that some are content to memorize the fucking koran while others want a real future. They have no oil money flowing in to paper over the inequities in the country.
It may be harder for the secularists to organize seeing as how they are united by what they do not want ( islamic nuttiness ) rather than what they do, but it is important to remember that it is not just the army gunning down the muslim brotherhood. There are substantial numbers who wanted Morsi out which is how the current crisis started. They are lucky that the army sided with them instead of the government - as armies usually do.
As the Egyptians are finding out, Mubarak was not the cause of their economic problems. I imagine that business at the camel rides on the Giza Plateau is pretty slow right now.
