What is drawn from Egypt can be applied elsewhere".

We have to review the march, and correct the errors and not repeat them. Every fervent Muslim in Egypt, and in the states of the Arab Spring, the Islamic world, and everywhere, must be a lion in his doctrine and behavior, for if he will not act like a lion, he will be eaten by wolves.
