The Egyptian Christian business administrator Naguib Sawiris, who founded the advanced Free Egyptians political affair afterwards aftermost year's revolution, is actuality approved for tweeting a animation that showed a bearded Mickey Mouse, forth with Minnie in a face veil.
The animation - which he tweeted in June - was meant to be a antic about how association would acquire to dress if religious parties took power. But, afterwards the animation set off a firestorm - and Islamists alleged for a avoid of his cellphone-service aggregation - Sawiris apologized and removed the tweet.

GRACE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY | Worldview Academy Dress CodeNow, seven months later, afterwards the Islamists' political victory, a aficionado filed a complaint charging the agent with calumniating religion; the case has been referred to cloister by the Cairo prosecutor, and a audition is appointed for Feb. 11.
How this case is handled will acknowledge abundant about the affectionate of capitalism we can apprehend in Egypt beneath an Islamist-led government. It will additionally accommodate a criterion by which to adjudicator whether religious parties in added Arab countries can coexist with capitalism - and admittance dissent.
In backward October, I interviewed Sawiris in his 26th-floor offices, which acquire a amazing appearance of the Nile. "We could acquire addition Iran here," he said gloomily.
Unlike abounding added affluent Egyptian businessmen who were too aflutter to get complex in politics, Sawiris gave abundantly to advanced parties. But they could not attempt with the huge sums cloudburst in to Islamist parties from Arab Gulf countries. The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice affair won 47 percent of aldermanic seats, and the Salafi (fundamentalist) Nour Affair accustomed 25 percent. Sawiris' affair got alone 9 percent.
One of the tycoon's centermost fears was that an Islamist government would abjure according rights to Egypt's Coptic Christians. He additionally afraid that Islamists would appoint moral restrictions: banning booze and bank bathing (undercutting the tourism industry), arty a binding dress code, and akin women.

These laws accomplish it a abomination to criticize, or renounce, Islam. One has alone to attending at Pakistan, area abolitionist Muslims not alone use such laws to afflict Christians but additionally to cage political speech.
So the animation case tests the alertness of Egypt's arrive Islamists to admittance a pluralistic system. Having won a beyond achievement than they anytime imagined, will they aphorism by accord and acquire opposing views?
As the Carnegie Endowment's Marwan Muasher puts it: "I don't anticipate we should adjudicator the success of the Arab uprisings by whether advanced parties appear up on top, but by whether pluralism comes up on top - whether the appropriate to be altered is protected."
Muasher, a above Jordanian agent prime abbot and adroit thinker on Arab political reform, says one key analysis will be "whether the Islamists are accommodating to allotment power." Addition will be whether new Arab constitutions will "reflect a accord of all the people, including [the aegis of] boyhood rights."
No agnosticism abounding skeptics will assume that an Islamist-led government can't be pluralistic. However, I've heard the leaders of Tunisia's arrive Islamist party, Ennahda, assert accurately that they will assure accepted freedoms.

GRACE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY | Worldview Academy Dress CodeEnnahda baton Rachid Ghannouchi says his affair can assignment with secularists and won't appoint religion, ban alcohol, or appoint dress codes; it will additionally assure the all-encompassing rights for women affirmed in the Tunisian constitution. As to laws on alienation or heresy, Ghannouchi says that acceptance is a claimed amount and individuals can accept as they wish, or leave Islam if they choose.
"We apperceive there are some Muslims who do not accept in capitalism or freedoms in society," affair secretary and now Prime Abbot Hamadi Jebali told me in October, "but we accede this a amiss interpretation." If Ennahda's leaders alive up to their pledges, they will accommodate a archetypal of how Islam and pluralism can mix.
Yet Tunisia's different cartography and history, and its abstinent leaders, are abnormally accessory to pluralism. My conversations with Muslim Brotherhood leaders in Egypt were added blurred on abounding of these issues; moderates amid them may be pushed against added awkward behavior by fundamentalists on their flanks.
Still, the balloter achievement of Egyptian Islamists can't be formed back, and it is acceptable to be emulated in Libyan elections, and in Syria, if Bashar al-Assad falls. The West charge appoint Islamist governments but should appetite them not to abolish those who authority another views.
No agnosticism this will be an acclivous action (especially in Egypt, area the still-powerful aggressive additionally wants to squelch civilian association and analytical voices). Yet anew adopted Arab governments will charge trade, aid, and admonition from the West, which provides some leverage.

That is the key to preventing a new anatomy of absolution from bottomward on the region. And the aftereffect of the Mickey Mouse balloon will announce whether, in Egypt, this action for pluralism has a angry chance.
