Why the shock? Well, for the past year, the Muslim Brotherhood has categorically denied it would field a presidential candidate and repeatedly has tried to assuage fears that it was seeking control of Egyptian political life.

"Nah, the Muslim radicals will never gain a foothold in Egypt." Fast-forward a couple months, and now this.

Wait, you mean the MB said one thing but then did another? But... they have no history of that sort of thing. I am shocked. I trusted them......

The MB have several parties also, from moderate to not so moderate.

 

[Marauder06]

More like "less completely radicalized" to "full-bore, no-shit, completely radicalized."

Agreed, there was a walk out of the Constitutional meeting by those less inclined to bang their head as those dissenters didn't want an Islamic constitution.

Egypt wants to pass a law that allows men to have sex with dead wives, but with stringent limits; the wife must not have been dead for longer than 6 hours.

Now, now. That is an equal opportunity law. Women are afforded the same rights as men. Says so right here...

Zamzami Abdul Bari said that marriage remains valid even after death adding that a woman also too had the same right to engage in sex with her dead husband.

OMG that's hilarious.

When you think about it, the dead won't smell much worse than the average resident of a place like Egypt.

I wonder if the necrophilia law applies to goats and sheep? Good thing I'm not an Egyptian lawyer.

The other day I read that the ancient Egyptians used to mummify women almost immediately after death to prevent necrophilia. My, my...how the times have changed.

Not really..

Well at least up til 6 hours the body would still be warm... as for women, they might as well cut off the goods and shove it on the end of a stick.

A stick? Pfft! A stick would be one stick too long and more wood than they are used to.
