I juxtapose a symbol of the Islamic faith – a minaret – against a symbol of contemporary Egypt’s economy – a distant building blanketed in both morning mist and construction cranes. This juxtaposition poses a symbolic question. During my brief Egyptian visit, the country was preparing to vote for a parliament that will draft a new constitution for this troubled land, the most populous in the area. What kind of government will best serve Egypt and the Middle East – religious or secular? A new day dawns as an “Arab Spring” morphs into an “Arab Fall.”
