Egypt, the beginning or the end?

This week, Thomas Friedman debated whether or not Egypt will finally enter peace with the elections rolling in. He believes that since the "muslim brotherhood and the even more fundamentalist Salafist Nour party" gathering more than 65 percent of the votes, that the violence is not yet over. Thomas Friedman lists a series of five questions debating whether or not the "secular parties" have learned from their mistakes and will be able to negotiate peace. In the end, he feels that this is only the beginning and that the state of Egypt  has a long way to go before true peace will be achieved. He believes that true peace will require some "idealogical adjustments" by the muslim parties.
