We are 'worried" about Egypt because it effects Israel. If Islamic people are so unreasonable why do we keep sticking our nose in their business?

Because "their business" includes conquering and subjugating us. It's a basic tenet of Islam, to kill or convert the "infidels". And that's us.

So we surrender, die, or "stick our nose in their business". Your choice is?

Well, the pendulum swings back and forth. Christians took Spain, etc back from Islam, then set on a course through their Inquisitions to kill or convert all Jews and Muslims. Now fundamentalist Christians (evangelicals) here want to eliminate Judaism and Islam. It never ends. Infidels are people who don't believe as you do.

Because they are unreasonable. Left without resistance, you WILL see not only the destruction of israel, but also the destruction of the west.
The diplomatic hosannas for Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi following his brokering of the recent ceasefire between Hamas and Israel were still being heard even as the former head of the Muslim Brotherhood started behaving like a pharaoh. Morsi "temporarily" seized new powers that, among other things, forbid judicial review of his policies.

What ought to amaze us is how many times Western and especially U.S. diplomats have gone to the Arab-Muslim well, believing they will find something different at the bottom. Egypt, Hamas and even Iran string us along like a cad with a bevy of women in his orbit...
