Between who though? Normally one would think between the people and the army, but in this case the army has little love for the ruling political party and will likely not intervene to protect it. I guess things went bad so fast people , after already having a protest, went to the limit this time.

That's what come's from having an election so soon where the only people ready were the Muslim brotherhood. Only a third of Egypt is Muslim and even then not all of them want to live under religious law, of course the pro-Islamic laws and poor economy caused people to revolt.

A third of Egypt? Much much more than that i would think

A third, perhaps, are traditional Muslims, but something on the order of 90% are Muslim, i would think.

But that's what would make the civil war both interesting and horrific, none the least because it would inevitably be hijacked by global jihadis (again, the people running from Mali and currently making trouble on the Niger-Libya border)

It worked then and it works now, nothing too surprising.

It's similar method that was introduced at the dawn of 20th century in Russia by government of United States, they of course are too ashamed to even speak publicly about this, but back then they were proud.

The June 30 protesters stand accused of defying the democratic process and betraying the revolution, by paving the way for military intervention in civilian affairs. 
 
While this is indeed an imminent threat, such interference has always existed, and moreso after the Muslim Brotherhood helped the military keep the powers and privileges that it has held since 1952. Through a constitution written by a Brotherhood-dominated constituent assembly and openly endorsed by Morsi, the army has even been given wider non-democratic powers, such as a constitutional right to try civilians in military tribunals, immunity for the army's budget from public and parliamentary accountability, and a military-dominated National Defence Council authorised to veto draft laws. The constitution's preamble also acknowledges the armed forces' role in supporting the 2011 revolution.

Democracy cannot be complete unless the military is subject to civilian authority. The legitimacy of Morsi's rule has been shaken, if not eliminated, by the millions of people taking to the streets across Egypt's governorates since June 30.

Yes, definetly got that number confused with another country. Still, like turkey, most of the nation believes that religion and government should remain seperate and that chosing religion and forcing religion unto people are two different things. 

if anyone is wondering what the millions of people are protesting for.. just ask any one of them.

Civil war in 1.2.3...

From what I understood from a correspondent is that most of these protestors are anti-Morsi but the Pro-Morsi protests are groing and, most importantly, they are incredibly dedicated to their beliefs. Shouting out to die for Morsi and all will probably result in violent actions from both sides.

Luckily they have strict gunlaws in Egypt.. (jk)

He's certaintly split Egypt regardless

Mursi challenged the army too early and too openly. It was only a matter of time before the army would demonstrate its strength.

There won't be any civil war. There will be new elections soon and the politicial factions will be more ready to compromize in fear of yet another army intervention.

This is short term (one year).

In the long term the Muslim brotherhood will slowly increase its power and inluence over Egyptian politics and society. They are powerful and smart. This is only a temporary setback.

Morsi is gone now, to be honest i wasn't expecting that. I though he would have resisted being removed
