WI: General Shafik defeats Morsi in 2012 Egyptian Presidental Election

The Egyptian Presidental Run-off Election was determined by razor thin margins (51-48%), with Islamist candidate Morsi prevailing over Shafik, a military general who was considered part of the old guard.

What if Shafik had been able to win the nation's elections and become President?
 
Maybe the present terror insurrection wouldn't have come about or been as deadly. Had Morsi been beaten in an election instead of toppled by a coup, the Islamist elements wouldn't have been so motivated or gotten as much support.
