From Huda N. (not her real name) in Egypt:
It seems that the dream of living in a secular democratic country which respects all humans without any discrimination of race, religion or sex is drifting away. The Egyptians are very religious people. They ask bashfully for a secular constitution. They are accused of denying their religion if they ask for a secular constitution. The disappointing point is that the military council has appointed a committee for constitutional changes and asked the committee not to come near the 2nd article (that Islam is the Religion of the State and that Sharia law is the main source for legislation).
The Muslim brotherhood are playing it low for now, but a wolf can’t hide its intentions forever, it would reveal them sooner or later. The Muslim brotherhood has formed a political party and has promised not to nominate for presidency this time, but this doesn’t mean they wouldn’t the next elections. |The godfather of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi, is calling for the creation of a renewed Islamic caliphate in all Arab world and in Egypt in particular. He is speaking of a “united Muslim nations.” and for applying the Sharia law in Egypt.
