Just like Erdogan in Turkey, he seemed to think that a paper-thin majority was a mandate to push through lots of controversial changes that were pushing Egypt closer to a theocracy run by the Muslim Brotherhood.

In case it's not perfectly clear, I value secular governments above religious ones. "Political Islam" is just as bad as every other attempt to impose religion in the public sphere. In fact, the reason I'm so mad at Obama over Syria is that now I have to choose between a secular government that props up religious fanatics and rebels who have become religious fanatics.

It's why I don't like Erdogan and why I don't like Morsi. They're part of the problem with Islam these days, not part of the solution.
