Egypt's Opposition Says No to Morsi's Referendum

Egypt's opposition council has stated that they will not work with Morsi over the proposed constitution.

They also called upon Egyptians to refuse to vote in the referendum set for December 15.

To get them at a table to discuss things, Morsi must scrap the constitution and cancel the referendum.

One leader called Morsi's actions an "act of war" against the Egyptian people.

This comes after Morsi agreed to back down from most of his November 22 decree, in which he took near absolute power.

He only did that after the military suggested he do so, but they also had suggested that the opposition work with him.

The balance is precarious right now in Egypt which in all actuality could see civil strife if not war, if this issue is not resolved, and soon.

Many on the side of the opposition fear the power of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups, in the new government.

Worries are that too much of their proposed constitution is part of nearly Shariah law.
