How far is Egypt becoming polarised between Islamist and
secularist forces? The current vote for a new constitution in
Egypt has exposed divisions which at times have erupted into
violence on the streets between supporters and opponents of the
Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
Hardtalk speaks to a leading member of Egypt's liberal and
secular elite: Coptic Christian billionaire businessman and
politician Naguib Sawiris. Who has a better claim to be
democratic - the Islamists or their opponents?
