@mwhanna1 how so?
I understand the impulse, but it is a mistake to have Sheikh al-Azhar and the Patriarch alongside Baradei to make this announcement.

@HafsaHalawa It is a bad idea to involve religious institutions in this type of politics. Makes them a political actor and target. -
@mwhanna1 just heard you on npr- very good job! - End of conversation

@mwhanna1 better options? -
@alexhanna don't involve religious institutions and leaders in political decisions. -
@mwhanna1 but a good way to establish good will/popular report? -
@alexhanna@mwhanna1 maybe for sake of national unity? -
@sotsoy@alexhanna That is why, obviously, so I understand where they are coming from - I just don't like it or think it wise. -
@mwhanna1@alexhanna I agree with you . Religion should stay out of politics.

@mwhanna1 there's a lot of love on twitter & some Egyptian TV stations for this move. Interesting how impressions work I guess. -
@HafsaHalawa Of course there is - I get it. It's just bad precedent. -
@mwhanna1 true, I agree. Don't know if army are to blame for this precedent now though - last 2yrs politicised both institutions in a way -
@HafsaHalawa@mwhanna1 whats the bad precedent? A coup with new 'religious' legitimacy?

@mwhanna1 totally agree. But Nour party are also there. But yes Baradei is very dividing figure. -
@TheBigPharaoh@mwhanna1 "Baradei is very dividing figure." - Yup and as charismatic and charming as a cactus. Proven leadership skills too!

@sharon_lynch His argument is: "don't involve religious institutions and leaders in political decisions." Occidental principle.
