Just days after finishing a historic election that put Islamists in the legislative driving seat, Egypt's parliament on Monday will sit for the first time since President Hosni Mubarak was deposed nearly one year ago.

One of its main jobs will be forming a committee to rewrite the constitution but the newly elected legislators face a daunting task.

Al Jazeera's Rawya Rageh reports from Cairo.

  • @boskinator you know i dont know much about whats goin on over there but from what ive heard from the muslim brotherhood doesnt seem all that bad.. now unless theyre huge liars they seem to at least want to have a society where people of different sects live side by side in peace.. this is what ive heard from interviews with leaders from the muslim brotherhood.. correct me if im wrong

  • @xjustin523x

    If you're interested, look up the history of the Muslim Brotherhood. A lot of terrorism. Hamas is an offshoot of the MB. Virulent hatred of non-muslims. How will Egypt's Copts and the Jews in Israel fare with them in power?

    The MB's main goal is to institute Shariah (Islamic) law to rule - you should research that too.

    The MB, like the majority of Islamists, talk out of both sides of their mouth, telling the West what they want to hear while pursuing their own agenda (like Arafat)

  • I can just imagine.

    If you want to go to a Barber, you'll need to get a Visa to leave the Country to find one elsewhere. Yes. I'm certain their Theocracy has great plans for Egyptians.

  • @HayatLovesALLAH1

    Your prophet Muhammad was a dirty pedophile!

  • @shahzadazulfiqar1

    The prophet Muhammad (pig shit be upon him) was a dirty pedophile who raped 9-year-old Aisha when he was 54.

  • @xjustin523x

    Yes, he raped a 9-year-old girl (Aisha).

  • Congratulations Egyptians!!! :D I hope Egypt will steer towards a new light of freedom and prosperity with a new democratically-elected parliament, first since 1958. The concept of democracy may be messy and faces daunting challenges, but a government freely elected by the will of the Egyptian people is much better than a government that is run by military strongmen in the likes of Mubarak, Sadat, etc...

  • @zz773 hey we have got an idiot

  • Sad. Egypt has now started on the path towards death. Soon it will be poor, uneducated and incredibly corrupt just like every other islamic country.

  • ALLAH bless Islamic Egypt, Greeting from Pakistan.
