Compare: Mohammed Morsy during the election campaign

I want to compare the previous video post to this one of Mohammed Morsy speaking during the campaign. The campaign video, as you will see below, is a much more traditional jihadi type speech. Which one is real? Is the campaign speech real and the victory speech toned down to mollify Western donors who would pound Egypt's economy if it's going to become a jihadi state? Or is the victory speech real and the campaign speech just saying what he had to say to get elected?

There's an argument for the campaign speech being what he needed to be elected in the first round (where there were other Islamist opponents), but which was not needed in the second round. The campaign speech is from May 13, and the first round was May 23-24.

Let's go to the videotape.
