"An Islamic scholar has warned Egyptians will soon witness a series of confrontations between President Mohammed Morsi and the Military Council after the new leader ordered the dissolved Islamist-led parliament to reconvene.
Tawfik Hamid, senior fellow and chair for the Study of Islamic Radicalism at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, said Morsi’s decree will sharply increase tension in Egypt.
Morsi’s order sharply contravenes the military's dismissal of the assembly based on last month’s Supreme Court ruling.
“It’s the beginning of a serious confrontation and the situation is very volatile now because the military will not allow this to happen,” said Hamid." VOA

Yes. The Egyptian military will either respond to the re-installation of a parliament of dubious legality, installed without the sanction of a constitution or they will be brought to heel by the Islamists.
The ongoing love affair betweem Islamist forces and the US State Department naifs now faces a crisis. They may not realize it yet but they will. pl
