Fighting is breaking out across Egypt as Egyptians wind down voting on a deeply divisive constitutional referendum. Saturday will mark the final stage of voting on the new constitutional draft, which was hastily rushed through Egypt’s Islamist-dominated constitutional assembly in the midst of a political legitimacy crisis. The new constitution, which is supported by Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood-linked President Mohamed Morsi and his backers, has been criticized for its emphasis on Islamic law and for inadequately protecting the rights of women and religious minorities.
