When Mubarak was kicked out there did not seem to be as much violence. ??

And what violence there was was directed at the people wanting Mubarak kicked.

So what is with these people now? Is it mainly religious aggravation? And are the peaceful folks the ones who made Mubarak leave, and then Morsi?
