Answer 3

Like most armies in the Middle East, the Egyptian Army (and its leadership called SCAF) sees itself as a secularizing entity in Egyptian politics. SCAF sees its role as defending the Egyptian people from threats from abroad such as belligerence from neighboring states and from fifth columns, such as those who would deny Egypt's multicultural identity. Finally, SCAF has made it their mission to make sure that the border with Israel remains peaceful. As concerns the religions of its membership, SCAF is predominantly Sunni Muslim from the Hanafi School with minor participation from Sunni Muslims of the Hanbali and Maliki Schools and some Coptic Christians.
