New Egyptian Constitution ‘Approved’

“Oh ye of little Faith. For those who don’t believe that the world is shifting powers to a new world order. Read this article. Remember in November when Americans were outraged that the UN would send observers to America for the presidential election? Yet here they came, to make sure there was no voter fraud. Well I guess when it comes to Islamic Sharia law, no observers are needed. Why is the world backing away from everything Islamic? Wake up, something evil this way comes.”

Counting the ballots in Egypt

Women without veils complained they were not allowed to vote for the new Egyptian anti-secular constitution. Mass protests in the first stage of the voting last Tuesday. Egypt’s opposition alleged there were massive polling violations after Islamists backing Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi claimed victory in the first round of a referendum on a new charter. Thousands of women complained they were not allowed to vote because they were not veiled, and Christian women also said they were turned away.

Some 25 million Egyptians were eligible to cast their ballots on the Constitution, which was authored by a National Assembly committee comprised primarily of Islamists – hence, the boycott.

Opposition activists have contended that the document fails to protect human rights and freedoms that were the core values they fought for in the January 25 Revolution that toppled the regime of former President Hosni Mubarak. The new Constitution, they said, does not protect the rights of women, nor does it ensure the rights of Coptic Christians, who comprise some 10 percent of Egypt’s population.
