Example text
Establishing the degree to which educated Egyptians identified themselves as "Arab" in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is problematic. To be sure, occasional allusions to an Arab affiliation for Egypt and its people can be found in the writings and speeches of prominent Egyptians of the period. Such references need to be viewed with caution, however: as will be demonstrated shortly, some of those who used such phrases also manifested a considerable sense of hostility toward their Fertile Crescent Arab "brothers" who were resident in Egypt.
Thereafter, Egyptian hopes for liberation from the British via the agency of the Ottomans must have diminished when the fortunes of war shifted and the Allies went on the offensive into Palestine and Syria. 25 The attitudes of Egyptian political leaders and groups toward the war and the combatants in it were not monolithic, of course. By 1914, an intellectual break with Ottoman/Islamic loyalties had already been achieved by the ideologues of the Umma Party, and this group demonstrated little concern for the Ottoman cause during the war.
Consistent with his belief in a specific and distinct Egyptian character, he advocated the "Egyptianization" of various aspects of Egyptian life: of Arabic through the blending of the classical language with the colloquial dialect of Egypt, and of education through making Arabic the language of instruction in those schools where English had displaced it. Lutfi even advocated "Egyptianizing contemporary Western civilization" in Egypt by giving it "a truly Egyptian cast" that would be more suitable to the Egyptian mentality.
