Ideology of Nationalism
The concept of 'Nationalism' refers to the “essential human unit in which man’s nature is fully realized…constitute their common goals which in turn are supreme goals (Berlin, 2013, p.342).” Nationalism is also prevalent background ideology throughout all the presidential speeches of Bin Ali and Mubarak in order to motivate the citizenry’s nationalistic feelings and their positive attributes. Both Bin Ali and Mubarak attempt to display their great love of their own countries and fidelity to their countries.

وَكُلُّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ حَيَاتِي كَانَ وَمازال لِخِدْمَةِ البِلَادِ، وَقَدِّمَتْ التَّضْحِيَاتُ وَمَا نحَبِّشُ نُعْدِدْهَا كُلَّهُ تَعْرِفُوهَا وَلَمْ أَقْبَلْ يَوْمًا وَمَا نَقْبَلُ بَاشَ تسَيِّلُ قَطْرَةُ دَمٍ وَاحِدَةً مِنْ دِمَاءِ التُّونِسِيِّينَ. wakulũ yaẘmiⁿ min̊ ḥayātī kāna wamạzạl likẖid̊maẗi ạlbilādi, waqadĩmat̊u ạltãḍ̊ḥīātu wamā nuḥabĩsẖu nuʿ̊did̊hā kulãhu taʿ̊rifūhā walam̊ ạảq̊bal̊ yaẘmaⁿạ wamā naq̊balu bāsẖa tasyĩlu qaṭ̊raẗu damiⁿ wāḥidaẗaⁿ min̊ dimāʾi ạltũwnisīĩyna.. Every day of my life has been dedicated for serving the country. I sacrificed a lot and do not like to enumerate my sacrifices. I have never and will never allow for a single drop of Tunisian blood to be shed. (Bin Ali: 13 Jan 2011) Extract وَأَنَّنِي مُتحملاً مَسْئُولِيَّتِي الأُولَى فِي الحِفَاظِ عَلَى أُمنِ الوَطَنِ والمواطنيين. Wā ảnãnī mutaḥmlạaⁿ mas̊yủwlīãtī ạlạủwlay̱ fī ạlḥifāẓi ʿalay̱ ạủmani ạlwaṭani wạlmwạṭnyyn. And I carry my foremost responsibility in protecting the security of the nation and the citizens. (Mubarak: 29 Jan 2011) Both presidents endeavor to reveal their national ideology that asserts their authority as loyal nationalist leaders and promote the unity of their peoples to maximize the glories of their nations. Bin Ali employs the ideology of Nationalism about (15) times while Mubarak exploits it more than (37) times in their three last speeches. Both the presidents use this language to call their citizens for rejuvenating and constituting one nation bound together by their common beliefs, history, culture, ways of life and nationalist union. One of the primary goals of exploiting the ideology of Nationalism is to end the glowing protests’ influence upon the citizenries in Tunisia and Egypt. The presidents aspire to create a kind of homogeneity of patriotism intended to make for a solidaristic society and to serve both as a unifying force and a vehicle of stability of both nations. In extract ( ) Bin Ali and Mubarak employ the pronominal forms of the first person singular pronouns as a delicate way of assertions and stating a self-centred perception of authority and the second plural pronouns to create solidarity and relational values with their citizenries. Vocabulary such as (حَيَاتِي-قَدِّمَتْ -مَا نحَبِّشُ نُعْدِدْهَا –تَعْرِفُوهَا- لَمْ أَقْبَلْ -وَمَا نَقْبَلُ, ḥayātī -qadĩmat̊u-mā nuḥabĩsẖu nuʿ̊did̊hā-taʿ̊rifūhā-lam̊ ạảq̊bal̊-wamā naq̊balu, my life-I sacrificed-I do not like to enumerate my sacrifices- you know- I have never and will never allow), (أَنَّنِي-مَسْئُولِيَّتِي , ảnãnī- mas̊yủwlīãtī, I- my responsibility) suggest claiming of solidarity via positive or negative assertions. It is also clear that these clauses are combined with equal weight with (and, or but) to be coordinated to assert their self-centred and individualistic, authoritarian with respect to the State authority. Finally, to be self-revelatory, Bin …show more content…
No doubt that Morsi appears as the ambassador of this ideology. His massive religious rhetoric and vocabulary are improvised and influentially performed their results at first. There is a plethora of this ideology replete his political discourse such as Qur’anic verses, Traditional Sunnah and Sayings. It is obvious that there are about (10) intertextualized religious discourse shrouds Morsi’s first three speeches. Moreover, the actors of this ideology constantly accentuate that they are always oppressed and victims as a result of their religious principles.

Marzouki adopts this secular ideology. He advocates the separation of religion and State in his inauguration speech. However, he has a thin line of alliance with Islamists and is allied with the Islamist Ennahda party. As a writer and intellectual, Marzouki is expected to provide the facts objectively, and contribute to an enlightening role in reuniting and strengthening Arab solidarity. In addition, He discusses how the notion of separation of State and religion evolves and becomes one of the dominant liberal values in the history of mankind. The below extract reflects this ideology:
