Egyptian people are much too enlightened, educated ... Salafis have no chance in hell of ever running things in Egypt.

I spent a couple years in Egypt and every major salafi shaykh that I met was either a Doctor or a Phd in a secular field as well.

Dr. Muhammad Isma'il - psychiatrist
Dr. Yasir Burhami - physician
Dr. Ahmad Hutaybah - dentist
Dr. Muhammad Yusri - phd. in engineering

There was a salafi shaykh in a small masjid I used to attend who used to teach us Zad al-Ma'ad. He was a physician and had a phd. in Usul al-Fiqh from al-Azhar.

To be honest, the only people in Egypt I encountered who really fit this description: "Egyptian people are much too enlightened, educated" were the salafi brothers.
