We'll have to see how this solves the fundamental problem in today's Egypt; the economy sucks ass and is getting worse. Obviously the Morsi power-grab didn't work so what's the next solution?
The suck-ass state of the economy is the biggest factor. The people protesting are sick of being broke more than anything else. Sure there are secular elements of the protesters and yes there are folks who had jobs and stability under Mubarak, and would support that faction returning to power. But there are plenty who are ideologically with the Muslim brotherhood, think a more traditional, Islamist rule is fine, as long as they can buy bread. United in the sentiment that 'you guys suck, get out', rather than, 'we want our guy/side in there'.
The economic factor is also downplayed by Western media, least the idea of taking to the streets in opposition to failed economic policies.
