Islamic forces coalition warns against return of previous regime

Khairat al-Shater, first deputy of the supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood A coalition of Islamic forces in Egypt has warned civil powers against trying to impose their agenda and forcing a coup against the legitimate president. The Islamic coalition accused the civilian forces of manipulating the will of the Egyptian people, and stressed that they will not tolerate the return of the previous corrupt regime, under any pretext or guise.
During a press conference on Saturday, Khairat al-Shater, first deputy of the supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, said there was a need to hold the referendum on the constitution on time without modification or delay.
He added that it would be a step on the road to stability, building state institutions and embarking on a number of issues that needed work, like the economy, security, health and education.
The coalition, which includes the Muslim Brotherhood, Salafists and Islamic groups, the legitimate organisation for rights and reform, the Association of Sunni scholars, Clerics union, and Revolution Board of Trustees, as well as the Salafist Front - said that the millions of Egyptians who gathered in the peaceful revolution will not stand idle while watching the gains of their revolution stolen and abused by a bunch of corrupt people who are supported by the media which is also corrupt.  
The coalition declared that there had been \"enough of the lying and falseness of those who are more loyal to the former regime and corrupted by money.\"
Al-Shater said that the closer we get to the constitutional referendum, the more the country becomes exposed to further sabotage and chaos. \"It is an attempt to bring horror and shake confidence in the President, and all the attempts to hit and burn headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood are aimed at dragging the Brotherhood to a side battle, as the Brotherhood\'s main issue is defending legitimacy.
Shater added that one of Morsi\'s opponents has agreed that there is consensus among the political opposition and the remnants of the Mubarak regime. He also claimed that there is a plan to isolate President Mohammed Morsi from the political institutions.
Shater was keen to stress that 40 percent of the people in Egypt are living below the poverty line, and the deficit coincides with increasing public debt. He said that depriving the president of helping political institutions would hinder his renaissance project and delay his ability to attract foreign investment to strengthen national economy.
