It seems that is exactly was is supposed to be happening , That Religion should not be a part of politics withing Egypt.

No religious group shall be allowed to form a political party. But , I have no doubt in my mind That , If the Military think for one moment that they can take full power in Egypt , The had better have another thought.

Itsjustmacker,

I understand the problems with Sharia Law but that is something there should be constitutional protections against not the overthrow of a democratically elected government. I can't abide by the mullah men either but why should they not be allowed to stand for election? This is the very stick they wish to beat democracy over the head with.

Anthony:

Yes, they were democratically Elected, But the major problem was, Morsi started to change the constitution to suit his on agenda, Sharia law, Etc.. , all against the wishes of the people , The people of Egypt did not rise up to Oust Mubarak for this. Did the people of Ireland rise up against the British to have SF sitting in a British Parliament, I for one don't think so. A new constitution is being re-written in Egypt which will bar fundamentalist from standing for elections. Once that is done , power will be handed over to those elected. That's my take on it.

Itsjustmacker,

but if they are the democratically elected government, the damage done to the concept of democracy and any professed commitment to it is undermined when the type of brutal anti-democratic regime now prevailing in Egypt is endorsed. There was a great piece in the Guardian the other day about the situation and the meaning for democracy.

Anthony:

The sad fact of life in the middle east is, al-Qaeda are trying to impose sharia law on everyone , their aim is to take over the world and impose it on every nation , People throughout the world have to realise what is actually happening. I have been in conversation with several Muslims, and , they all state the same, Muslims will not Kill Muslims, but , when I put it to them, "So , Who is killing the Muslims", they reply, jihadist , I ask, but they are Muslims are they not, answer is, "NO", they are fundamentalists . To me its a no win situation, they all have the same answer. MORSI was one of those fundamentalists, Broken out of Prison to become a so called leader for the people of Egypt, He was adamant to bring in Sharia Law. Religion should have no say in politics, and , I mean any religion. Morsi was elected to help all the people of Egypt, He Failed To Do That , The people seen what was happening and ,"Did Not Want It". Low and behold who was arrested, Egypt detains al-Qaeda chief's brother

Egypt seems ready to explode out of control at the minute. Seems democracy is only a good idea until somebody we don't like gets in
