Abstract

The role of religion in Egypt's new political structure after the fall
of Hosni Mubarak is one of the most important preoccupations of
current studies of Middle East developments in the recent years. And,
since the exit of Islamic discourse from the equation within the
Egyptian movement, the subject has become even more significant. The
subject also draws attention to the relationship between Islamic
states such as Iran and these developments, and the possibility of
such Islamic states influencing politics in Egypt. The current
question is that, what kind of relations and what type of discourse
the Iranian model of government could have with the new political
structure, and religion's role and place, in the Egyptian society?
Therefore, looking back at various facts and happenings such as
identifying the revolutionary forces, process of revolution and its
effect on the nature and character of new government from the
perspective of Islamic movement in Iran and non-ideological movement
in Egypt, determining the impact of religious state in Iran on nature
and identity of new regime in Egypt has become almost impossible.
