LALLA SOUEIF

The historical reality was that after the military dictator was ousted as ruler of Egypt, the Islamic Brotherhood, the most organized political force then in Egypt, not only won the elections at the polls, but then started to seize total power so they would never loose future elections and then started the country on the road to an Islamic theocracy under President Morsi. After a year or so, with the great support of the majority of Egyptians, the Military took over and ousted the Islamics. So the additional choices he seeks had not been successful yet at the time this quotation was made.
