Back to the OP for a moment.
First, I don't believe this accusation. I guess everyone has forgotten when the arab spring was starting in egypt and that us female reporter got attacked in Tahrir square and felt up by a bunch of guys. It's a problem there, just like a similar problem where a few guys pinched my wifes ass in Rome.
Second, the supposed "liberals" that are protesting morsi's stupid move to temporarily take power, and protest the constitution drafting process. Morsi said it was only until the constitutional referendum took place, but trusting him is probably a hard thing for some to do.
Morsi called for the constitutional committee to hurry up and they did. The draft of the new egyptian constitution looks to be a pretty darn good document to set Egypt up as a modern democracy.
Perhaps the fear mongers and doom sayers about the Muslim Brotherhood should look to see exactly how pragmatic they have become and how undemonic they actually are.
the only reason that the opposition parties are complaining is because they walked out of the drafting committee. A move that was pretty damn stupid, "we don't think you'll be fair so we won't participate in drafting it". Like not participating in the voting process and then protesting the outcome. Stupid and stupider.
Despite that the resulting document includes:
Egypt is an Islamic country and sharia forms the basis of its laws***
freedom of speech, religion, media, assembly, movement
gender equality in all laws
outlawing any political party that does not support gender equality
balance of powers - parliament, shura (senate), president, justice
term limits on all elected positions
presumption of innocence
habeus corpus
free healthcare
free education including post secondary (both genders)
and a bunch of other pretty decent stuff.
here is an english translation of the draft. Its a tad long

*** for the paranoid, sharia has huge amounts of stuff that is simply not applicable in the 21st century. Just like christians and jews no longer think that death is the appropriate punishment for cursing one's parents or hitting them. the term "sharia forms the basis of the laws" means that Egypt will have Islamic law which will be a mixture of sharia and english common law. (habeus corpus being but one example).
this is a good start. The saudis/wahabiis are scared poopless about it and it appears that there are some of their paid "rabblerousers" in the crowd of "liberal" protesters. What is going on there is not all what it seems.
If morsi can hold things together until the draft is debated and a final version is presented for the referendum, then Egypt will have lain the foundation for a bright and stable future. They will once re-gain their pre-eminent place in the arab world.
