Abstract

The political structure of Egypt as a country, like many other countries, situated in the Middle East and North Africa is to a large extent composed of remnants of a colonization period, religion, tradition and culture. The lack of a democratic foundation and institutions in these states has created at times serious challenges and socio-political crises for all its governing elite. These governments have consequently attempted superficial reforms which owing to their non-fundamental nature have unfortunately been ineffective in a real sense. This has led in the past to intolerance towards sharing power with other political groups and parties aimed at elimination or marginalization of these forces thus creating a near totalitarian state. The ‘ Muslim Brotherhood’ movement is one of the oldest political tendencies in Egypt which with its Islamic ideology has gone through many upheavals composed of repression, torture, and even ascending to power, as a political force in Egypt. Following the Egyptian Revolution this party attempted through making use of the democratic ideals and methods to take over the reign of government. However following a year of the government of Mohammed Morsi (the leader of the freedom and justice Party), it became clear that his party attempt to encode the Sharia Law which was not in accord with the democratic aspirations of a large portion of Egypt’ s population that he is also walking in the same footsteps. Liberal and democratic factions which did not want to risk giving another opportunity and more time to make the same mistake, chose to quietly watch the ensuing coup d’ é tat against Morsi from the sidelines.
