> It is similar to Arab countries

Egypt is an Arab country - the biggest and most influential Arab country, located in the center of the Arab world. Saying Egypt is similar to Arab countries is like saying France is similar to European countries.

I think what he meant is, Egypt is going to become muslim state like other arab countries, instead of Pakistan. It does not make sense to compare it with India since India is mix of lot of religions(Hindu, Xstianity, Budhism, Sikh, Islam, Jain) and has high tolerance for religion freedom.
