A new poll taken of Egyptians show that 61% want to scrap the peace treaty with Israel. To a normal person this makes no sense. Israel has not threatened Egypt or done anything to that nation. But to people who the situation, its because Egypt is going Islamists and they view non Muslims as the enemy. Israel is not an Islamic state, so it is hated.
Six in ten Egyptians want to cancel the peace treaty with Israel, a new poll has found, up from just over half of respondents since last year’s survey.
The poll, released last week by the Washington-based Pew Research Center, showed 61 percent of Egyptians want to cancel the 1979 agreement, while a third want to keep the treaty and the rest are undecided.

Egyptians overwhelmingly viewed Islam as a positive influence on society, though the percentage viewing it as negative had exploded to 25% from a minuscule 2% last year. Still, six in ten said Egypt’s laws should strictly adhere to the Koran, and another third said laws should conform to Islamic principles but not necessarily follow the Koran to the letter.
