World condemns Morsi decree making him 'New Pharaoh'
The European Union slammed Morsi’s decision to place his rule above judicial review.
Morsi's decree on Thursday also shielded from legal challenge an Islamist-dominated assembly writing Egypt's new constitution, as well as the upper house of parliament, which is dominated by Islamists allied to Morsi and tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. Secular and liberals in the government have been angered that Morsi and his allies appear to be leaning more and more towards imposing Sharia law.

The Muslim Brotherhood will rule the entire ME soon, and the civilised world will wish for the good old days.

Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi defended his latest decree granting himself sweeping powers before supporters in Cairo as anti-Morsi demonstrators set fire to Muslim Brotherhood offices in cities across Egypt on Friday.

>>Supporters and opponents of President Mohammed Morsi clashed Friday in the worst violence since he took office, while he defended a decision to give himself near-absolute power to root out what he called "weevils eating away at the nation of Egypt."
The edicts by Morsi, which were issued Thursday, have turned months of growing polarization into an open battle between his Muslim Brotherhood and liberals who fear a new dictatorship. Some in the opposition, which has been divided and weakened, were now speaking of a sustained street campaign against the man who nearly five months ago became Egypt's first freely elected president.
The unrest also underscored the struggle over the direction of Egypt's turbulent passage nearly two years after a popular uprising toppled Hosni Mubarak's authoritarian regime. Liberals and secular Egyptians accuse the Brotherhood of monopolizing power, dominating the writing of a new constitution and failing to tackle the country's chronic economic and security problems.<<

But he hasn't given back the presidency. He was just making sure he didn't get a whiff of the tear gas or an attack from some loose freedom-seeking lunatic.
