Abstract
One of the most controversial issues to unsettle Egyptian society in the transition period between President Mubarak’s downfall and President Morsi’s ouster was the status of Islam in the post-revolutionary state. The public debate on how to define Egypt’s identity in the new constitution revealed a deep political and social polarization, of a magnitude not seen before in Egypt. The discourse on state religion relations since the January 2011 uprising sheds light on the characteristics of this discourse during Mubarak’s reign and enables us to re-examine it.
