The amendments in Egypt's referendum were "meant to amend the current Constitution just enough to allow fair elections before a new document is written." What they did not begin to touch, not surprisingly, was Article 2 of the current Egyptian constitution, which reads: "Islam is the religion of the state. Arabic is its official language, and the principal source of legislation is Islamic jurisprudence (Sharia)." As one Coptic Christian rightly noted in a march demanding a secular government in February, "This provision is the source of discrimination in Egypt."
Almost no one in the West dares admit that; it is an article of politically correct faith that it is interpretations or implementations of Sharia that are problematic, but not Sharia itself. Non-Muslims will continue to suffer as a result.
