About a week ago the Pro-Morsi forces in Egypt were organizing hardline Islamist support for a massive display of strength this weekend.   The Islamists, mostly from the Muslim Brotherhood, wanted all the Pro-Morsi folks to show up and display their support.
Not wanting such an optic to be left unchallenged, the regular people (non hardliners) who support moderation, and are more Westernized and open, organized the counter protest.   The Egyptian army supports the moderate side of the political spectrum, or this group.  Which makes sense because most of the Egyptian military officers are/were trained by the United States.
Demonstration: Hundreds of thousands took to the streets as supporters of the army heeded a call to rally
