The clamor in Egypt's streets suggests that Hazem Abu Ismail, a lawyer-cum-sermonize committed to replicating the seventh-century ways of the Prophet Mohammed, could be the country's next pharaoh. Wherever he tours, crowds mob Abu Ismail as if he were a pop-star. Hundreds of other Egyptians have tossed hats in the ring for presidential elections, due on May 23rd. Among the half-dozen front-runners several are, like Abu Ismail, Islamists. But none packs either his Salafist radicalism or his charisma. Abu Ismail's heady mix of Islam and nationalism promises to "liberate" Egypt from subservience to Israel and the West. His domestic agenda scares the tourism industry that earns a vital chunk of Egypt's foreign revenues.
