“…Here is the voice of Sheikh Yousuf al-Qaradhawi, [spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and] one of the learned men of Egyptian Islam: ‘I think [the shari’a] should be implemented gradually. This is a law of the shari’a and a law of nature.… We should do things gradually. We should prepare the people, teach them.

On Saturday, Egypt’s electoral commission released the final results of the country’s first “free” elections in decades, with Islamist parties winning nearly three-quarters of the House seats.

The focus of today’s Briefing returns to Egypt, following the Islamists’ latest victory in the third and final round of the country’s elections. With a projected 2/3 of the cumulative vote, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party together with the Salafist Al-Nour Party are poised to achieve an absolute parliamentary majority.

Last week, Egyptians went to the polls in record numbers, in the first free elections since Hosni Mubarak was deposed last February.
