Egypt's Descent Into Civil War | National Catholic Reporter

Egypt's Descent Into Civil War | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The Islamic Brotherhood are not exactly the Sons of Liberty - indeed their concept of respect for individual rights is quite weak.  I am in no way in favor of the democratic enactment of Sharia, especially in a nation where those who want it are not really in the majority.  I can't see a western democracy there either - at least until the Brotherhood gets the point that the time to enact Sharia has passed. Let individuals and groups be guided by its tenants, but do not impose it on everyone.  Sadly, most of this has to do with the continued subjugation of women.  I cannot continue to abide by that in Islam any more than I can abide by it in the Catholic Church.
