No one should be surprised that the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood is taking steps to institute Shari'a law in Egypt. At least he set up a sham vote to draft a constitution legalizing his iron grip over the country. The lack of freedom is something which Egyptians are all too familiar with.
What is unfamiliar is the source of the grip. Soon, Egypt will be crawling with sectarian militants. They will be the only ones free to practice whatever it is they choose to practice. The promise of Tahrir Square is broken and no one seems capable of repairing it.
