The political divide in Egypt widened, as secular and liberal opposition forces raised the pressure on President Mohammed Morsi to rescind an edict that consolidates his power and sidelines the judiciary, while his supporters prepared for rallies Tuesday to preserve what the Muslim Brotherhood, the main Islamic party, called 'legitimacy and stability.'

埃及国内的政治分歧出现加剧，世俗派和自由派的反对力量向埃及总统穆尔西(Mohammed Morsi)施加更大压力，要求他废除巩固其权力、让法官们靠边站的法令。穆尔西的支持者则准备周二举行集会，以保护伊斯兰主要政党穆斯林兄弟会(Muslim Brotherhood)所称的合法性和稳定性。

Egypt's cacophonous array of quarreling opposition groups has coalesced, and formed a National Salvation Front to push back against the decree. The coalition─which was formed last week by secular and liberal political parties─is expanding to include youth groups and other revolutionary forces to challenge Mr. Morsi's decisions and prevent what they say is an impending Islamist takeover of the government.

埃及国内争吵不休的反对派团体现已联合起来，成立了“救国阵线(National Salvation Front)来反对这道法令。这个联合组织由世俗派和自由派政党上周成立，目前正在将青年组织和其它革命力量容纳进来，以挑战穆尔西的决定，阻止他们所谓的伊斯兰教徒即将对埃及政府的接管。
