Is this really news? The Taliban, which is not in power in Egypt, is widely known for their position on non-Muslim relics.

The bigger story in Egypt is the creation of a constitution. Certain factions what the incorporation of Sharia, however the reality of Egyptian society is that they did not cast of an oppressive government to install yet another oppressive government that is more concerned about religious fundamentalism than the economy. Egyptians, at least those in urban areas, are not likely to embrace going backwards.
