The army’s repression of the Muslim Brotherhood is more a question of competition for power than of religion. As the only organized force in the country that could seriously challenge the military, the Brotherhood is the greatest threat that the Army faces, as demonstrated by Mohamed Morsi’s victory in the election that made him president a year before he was overthrown.
军队对穆斯林兄弟会的镇压与其说是宗教问题，不如说是权力斗争。作为埃及唯一能对军队构成挑战的有组织力量，穆兄会是军队面临的最大威胁，穆尔西在被推翻一年前获得总统选举胜利就说明了这一点。
