CHRISTIANS THREATEN TO WALK OUT ON REWRITING EGYPT CONSTITUTION OVER SHARIA
Christians Praying In Church Destroyed By Muslims
Egypt: Christians threaten to walk out on constitution rewriting over Islamic law dispute By the Washington Times, November 7, 2013
CAIRO — Christians on a committee rewriting Egypt’s constitution threatened to walk out Thursday after disputes over portions dealing with Islamic law.
Egypt’s ultraconservative Al-Nour party — which has one member in the 50-person panel — has been pushing for adding an article defining Islamic, or Shariah, law, which critics warn could allow for stricter interpretations of what Shariah is later.
Under ousted President Mohammed Morsi, an Islamist-dominated panel pushed through a constitution that strengthened the role of Islamic law. The military suspended the constitution after the popularly backed July 3 coup. Now the panel is rewriting portions of it to offer to voters in a referendum. Secularists, liberals and leftist politicians dominate the new panel. However, representatives of Christian churches say it’s difficult to remove contention items, like the Islamic law portion, even with just one Islamist on the panel.
“There is pressure,” Safwat el-Bayadi, one of the three church representatives on the panel now threatening to quit.
