http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-20451208Egypt's President Mohammed Mursi has issued a declaration banning challenges to his decrees, laws and decisions.
The declaration also says no court can dissolve the constituent assembly, which is drawing up a new constitution.
President Mursi also sacked the chief prosecutor and ordered the retrial of people accused of attacking protesters when ex-President Mubarak held office.
Egyptian opposition leader Mohammed ElBaradei accused Mr Mursi of acting like a "new pharaoh".
In a joint news conference held late on Thursday, Mr ElBaradai and other opposition figures described the declaration as a "coup against legitimacy" and called on Egyptians to take to the streets in protest. yeesh... mediate a truce in Gaza and that power just goes straight to your head.

There are worse fates than being Pharaoh, but I'm going to need to see a new pyramid underway before I buy that.

The previous ruler held onto power far longer using similar tactics. Precedent in that region is on his side. It's not right of course, but that's the way Muslim countries have been run for ages.

True. But the Egyptian people have woken up. They're not going to suffer it for long this time. |

The difference this time is that Mursi has religious backing. Don't underestimate the power of zealots.

Ohhhh No, you Libby loons can't spell, it's Morsi, not "Mursi"!
How dare you not spellcheck your posts before posting.
I kid... Of course.
This idiot wants to be Pharaoh. Glad they're protesting.

Wrong. It's محمد مرسى عيسى العياط
