Egyptian here, hello.
Some pretty big quotes should surround "democratically". Also, the Muslim Brotherhood attempted to enact constitutional Sharia Law, something unfavorable even amongst the Muslim-majority populace. If we're going to cherry-pick Egypt as an example here, would be nice to provide the whole picture of what went down (which this comment certainly isn't).

Egyptian liberal's overblown fear of Islam resulted in something far worse, a military dictatorship for another 30 years. Morsi was a moderate and was not going to impose sharia. Sisi is an extremist dictator who has jailed thousands of journalists and political rivals.
