Most Egyptians are not interested in democracy. They want a decent living. needless to say, that without democracy and purging corruption no decent life will be achievable.<br /><br />SCAF insists that Parliament has no authority to appoint a government, because Egypt has a presidential system. Is Egypt ready to accept a parliamentary democracy? I don't think so. Most Egyptians want a strong leader . a strong father of the nation.<br /><br />Finally: Non-muslims and seculars have any reason to be afraid of MB. A system based on Islamic values is very different from a government enforcing a kind of DIY-Islam according to the individual interpretation of self-appointed sheikhs.<br />What happens in Saudi Arabia, Iran or Pakistan tells you how tolerant those fundamentalists are, once they are in power. They have become an oppressive scourge, who are enforcing their ways on the people, although Qur'an al Kareem tells us that there is no coercion in religion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-76929211296772421912011-11-27T15:40:45.693+02:002011-11-27T15:40:45.693+02:00"Egypt army position won’t change in new cons...<i>"Egypt army position won’t change in new constitution, says Tantawi"</i> <a href="http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/27753/Egypt/Politics-/Egypt-army-position-won%E2%80%99t-change-in-new-constituti.aspx" rel="nofollow">-English Ahram</a><br /><br />What does that mean? Can Egyptians add an article to constitution that would say something like: "Military trials are forbidden for all civilians"<br /><br />Overall this is not looking good at all, as MB is wedging a division among Egyptians. This could lead to <b>several years</b> of old Turkey like scenario where military effectively controls the parliament / cabinet etc.<br /><br />One positive thing: MB wants elected parliament to form cabinet, SCAF is foolishly trying to resist. This could show the real spots of SCAF and MB would join the Tahrir again.<br /><br />Other hand it is already forseeable that the election results are not <i>representative</i>, and this alone should make MB to think about their position. Do they want to be the ones forming non-representative parliament / cabinet?yqxohttp://twitter.com/yqxonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-26845659630518805352011-11-27T15:13:21.506+02:002011-11-27T15:13:21.506+02:00There is an old Russian political joke I stumbled ...There is an old Russian political joke I stumbled upon:<br /><br /><i>Q: What is the difference between the Constitutions of the USA and USSR?
