I hope they take the "democratic state" and "civilian rule" elements to heart.

Salmawy said mass protests ahead of Mursi's ouster had signaled the public's opposition to a "religious state". The new constitution's preamble declared Egypt "a modern democratic state under civilian rule", he added.

The Islamists have yet to say whether they will try to rally a no vote against the constitution. For the Brotherhood, that would amount to tacit recognition of the new political process.
