Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Near East, Near Orient, grade: A-, , course: Political Islam, language: English, abstract: 'Identity and a Modern State' was the official slogan adopted by the first Salafi Al-Nour party during the Egyptian revolution of 2011. This remarked only as the beginning to the politicization process of the Salafi orientation in Egypt. On July 3 2013, however, the military intervened and deposed the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi, the first elected Islamist president in a modern Egyptian discourse. This research study will focus on the reasons why Egyptian Salafis have integrated themselves into politics in the first place using the components of political opportunity theory as a conceptual framework of the study.
