The move by Egypt's generals to reduce the nation's first competitively elected president to a figurehead appears to be a decisive blow to the vision that a popular democracy would smoothly replace the longtime autocratic leadership of Hosni Mubarak. For decades, Egypt's rulers have countered the Brotherhood's ambitions for a [U][COLOR=#B22222]state based on political Islam[/COLOR][/U], engaging in persecution and torture that spawned an extremism that would later influence Al Qaeda. The c onstitutional decree is the latest blueprint to block Islamists from threatening the generals, in the way that Turkish Prime Minister has limited the influence of his country's once-unquestioned military. Public support for the Brotherhood[U][COLOR=#B22222] has waned in recent months[/COLOR][/U][/B].[COLOR=#FF0000][/COLOR][B] Respected for its social and religious programs, including clinics and schools, the group has dismayed liberals and nationalists by appearing increasingly politically opportunistic. Activists have blamed the Brotherhood, which had vowed not to field a presidential candidate, for endangering civil liberties by [COLOR=#B22222][U]attempting to impose its religious doctrine on public policy.
