The Intricacies of the Evil's Alliance

However the vanquishers were not the armies and the
Pharaoh but the Prophet Moses (as) and his followers, who
were driven out of their land, and who were oppressed and
despised because they were in the minority.
Essentially, that those under the command of Pharaoh
represented the majority by no means proved their rightness.
From the Qur'an we learn that the majority put their faith not
in what is right, but in what misleads one from the right path.
Also, we learn that they are liars:

If you obeyed most of those on earth, they would
misguide you from God's Way. They follow nothing but
conjecture. They do nothing but lie. (Surat al-An'am:
116)
Moreover, the good, even if they are the minority, will
always prevail over the evil ones, though they outnumber
the good. God gives glad tidings of this in this verse:

'How many a small force has triumphed over a much
greater one by God's permission! God is with the
steadfast. (Surat al-Baqara: 249)
Ultimately, it is a fallacy and misconception when some
put forward various excuses to the good saying, "but these
are the beliefs, moral values and the life-style maintained by
the majority". Therefore, we must keep in mind that adhering
to the path the majority follow is not necessarily the safest
way, since, as also stressed in the verses above, it is nothing
but a grand delusion.
