Ah, the pungeant fragrance of the unintended consequences of fostering democracy in Dar al-Islam.  Mubarek was a savage Muslim tyrant, but he was able to keep the even more savage Muslims of Egypt at bay through his tyrannical excesses.  Now that the blossoming of "Arab Spring" has brought democracy to Egypt, we get to see just how moderate those moderates who overthrew him really are.  By Paul Schemm for AP:

CAIRO – More than half of all Egyptians would like to see the 1979 peace treaty with Israel annulled, according to results of a poll conducted by the U.S.-based Pew Research Center released Monday.

The poll highlights the deep unpopularity of the three-decade-old treaty, which is central to U.S. policy in the region and was scrupulously adhered to by former President Hosni Mubarak, until his Feb. 11 ouster.

The poll also revealed that most Egyptians are optimistic about where the country is headed following the 18-day popular uprising that brought down the president, and they look forward to greater democracy in their country.

And where do most Egyptians feel that their country is headed, that fills them with such optimism?  Toward a tolerant pluralism, or toward a stricter implementation of sharia?  See below for some answers.

The fall of Egypt's autocratic leader and the rise of a more democratic system, however, could threaten relations with neighboring Israel.

According to the poll results, only 36 percent of Egyptians are in favor of maintaining the treaty, compared with 54 percent who would like to see it scrapped.

Despite the decades of peace and limited trade between the two countries, most Egyptian view the Israelis poorly, largely because of perceptions that they mistreat the Palestinians.

No, most Egyptians view the Jews of Israel poorly because of the Islamic view of Jews and Judaism, as laid out by Mohammad in the Qur'an and the ahadith.  The "apes and pigs" line predates the Camp David accords by over a millenium.

Opinions varied according to income, with 60 percent of lower income Egyptians supporting the treaty's cancellation while only 45 percent of the wealthier classes thinking it should be done away with.

Only 40 percent of Egyptians with a college education felt the treaty should be scrapped, as well.

The poll, based on interviews with 1,000 Egyptians around the country, was conducted between March 24 and April 7 as part of the Spring 2011 Pew Global Attitudes survey held in 22 countries.

[...]

The conservative Islamist Muslim Brotherhood and the largely secular April 6 movement — two groups closely involved in the uprising, had the highest approval ratings in society, with over 70 percent seeing them in a very or somewhat favorable light.

[...]

The United States continued to garner low approval ratings, with only 20 percent of Egyptians seeing it in a positive light, up from 17 percent in 2010.

Only 15 percent of those interviewed thought Egypt should have closer relations with the U.S. — as opposed to 43 percent who though the two countries could use some distance.

The report summary can be seen here.  Some additional points:

• Just 36% of Egyptians feel that it is important for Egyptian minority religions like Coptic Christians to be able to freely practice their faith.  Keep in mind that 15-20% of Egyptians ARE Coptic Christians, and that leaves just ~10% of Egyptian Muslims who feel that it is important.
• 50% of Egyptians feel it is important that religious parties (like Muslim Brotherhood) can be part of the government.
• 62% of Egyptians want the laws to "strictly follow the Qur'an".  An additional 27% want laws that "follow the values and principles of Islam".  Just 5% want laws that are "not influenced by the Qur'an".
• The Muslim Brotherhood is the second most popular political party, after the comparatively less-religious New Wafd party.
• Whether Egyptian Muslims say that they "agree with fundamentalists", "disagree with fundamentalists", or "Both/Neither", they all agree more than 50% that the peace treaty with Israel should be annulled (51%, 51%, and 58% respectively).
