They say that the Muslim Brotherhood has now embraced the notion that political authority emanates from the people and not from God. Human law should be the arbiter of human affairs and not divine law. Sharia is finished for the Muslim Brothers, who state that they embrace equality of all citizens without distinction between religions or gender.

Mr. Landis, is English not your first language.
I noticed you did not use an article in the first sentence of your article. Classic Arabic-user gaffe.
What a pretty lie to begin the day!
"Covenant" = an agreement between a powerful entity and the much less powerful.
What a marvelous expression of arrogance!
This is pack of lies followed by a demand for submission.
Nothing more.
