Cairo - UNDER the slogan of ‘Saving the Revolution', the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) organised a demonstration last Friday against the nomination of some remnants of Mubarak regime in the presidential elections. Most revolutionary coalitions refused to participate in this demonstration despite their agreement with its motto. The cause is the lack of trust on the part of the revolutionaries over the intentions of the Muslim Brothers, who, since their political party obtained a majority in parliaments, have stood against such demonstrations. They claim that the legislation is now in the hands of parliament and not Tahrir Square! Despite the common goal of the two sides, the revolutionaries insist on having the MB and other Islamists express apologies and admit their mistakes in giving up the revolutionary demands for the sake of some personal interests. The revolutionary powers, especially the liberals, would like the Islamists to admit that they were wrong in supporting the constitutional amendments in the referendum of March 2011. This led to the drawing up of confusing roadmap for the transitional period and issuing of defective legislation causing more complications to the political scene. The Islamists then considered the March 19 referendum and its results as part of their battle against calls for building a civil and not Islamic state of Egypt and so massed the public to support. Time has proved, however, that it caused and has continued to effect the prolongation of military rule of the country. The MB were in haste to hold the parliamentary elections when the other political parties were not yet ready for such a move, so as to gain as much seats as possible in the first parliament after the revolution. They hoped that this step would enable them to monopolise the writing of the constitution, by which they wished to have it change the ruling system to a parliamentary one where they would form the government and so dominate rule of the country. However, they found out that the parliament they formed lacks the authority required to form a government or even pass a vote of no confidence in the present government. As their attempt to dominate the formation of the Constituent Assembly was aborted by a court ruling, they found no other means but to get back onto the street to put pressurise on the military council to fulfil their demands and stand against the reproduction of the Mubarak regime. To regain a state of unity with the revolutionary powers, the MB should take the initiative and express their apologies for their political opportunism and promise to combine with the different revolutionary powers to achieve the aims of the revolution.
