Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood claims constitution passes | |||
2012-12-23 | |||
Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood claimed Sunday that the Islamist-backed constitution has passed with a 64 percent "yes" vote, the day after the final voting in a two-round referendum that deeply divided the country. The constitution's critics however may contest the outcome. A spokesman for the main opposition group which has been campaigning for a "no" vote said there were "a lot" of irregularities in the voting.
But the comparatively low turnout of 32 percent of eligible voters, as well as allegations by the opposition of voting violations, threatened to undermine the constitution's legitimacy and keep Egypt polarized.

#1 See also TOPIX > [Newsbusters.org] US PRESS WON'T REPORT THAT EGYPT'S [proposed] CONSTITUTION IS SHARIA-BASED ... AND SOCIALIST. Its so "Socialist" as to be almost Communist iff we were still back in the Cold War??? Lest we fergit, ISLAM = GOD/FAITH-BASED SOCIALISM = THEO-SOCIALISM. Everyone likes to talk or discuss or rage about Fascism or Communism or Globalism - Nationalism-vs. Anti-Nationalism - BUT NO ONE WANTS TO TALK OR DISCUSS, ETC. THE MORE IMPORTANT TERM OR LABEL "SOCIALISM". Still no National Vote of Same just as no cure for Cancer or many others. |
