Egyptian politicians use religion to avoid criticism or escape some danger. For example, the late Egyptian president Nasser (1918-1970) used religious terms before and after the defeat of the 1967 war with Israel. During the era of President Sadat (1918 – 1981), the state used religion to achieve some political goals or gain political interests. In the 1970s, during Sadat's era, the aim was to counter the left, i.e. the communist ideas. The case was a little different during President Mubarak's era in the 1980s as there was an attempt to adopt Islamist political groups within the fringes of formal politics, but in the 1990s there was an attempt to contain the Islamist challenge. This paper relies on an analysis of some of Mubarak's speeches before the joint session of the Peoples' Assembly and Al-Shura Council, because this occasion is one where the President will tackle almost every aspect of Egyptian policy: domestic and foreign. The current paper concentrates on the question of using religious lexical forms in the ex-Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, political speeches
