Egypt's Islamists gear up to challenge army

The Muslim Brotherhood is devising a blueprint for a parliamentary democracy that would overturn Egypt's tradition of strong heads of state, flexing its muscles after emerging as the country's dominant political force.

The plan has emerged since the Islamist movement took the biggest share of seats in parliament, allowing it to challenge the generals ruling Egypt since the overthrow last February of Hosni Mubarak in a popular uprising. (Reuters)
