Note, the situation is vastly different now. The disparity between the development of the western nations and the middle east is a huge factor here. Back then, nobody was bothered by religious law (indeed, they'd be bothered by lack of it). Nowadays, western countries expect middle eastern ones to go in a few years through what took them hundreds. On the other hand, those more advanced countries can now influence the less advanced ones culturally, so certain processes may go differently. It's a very new situation, in  which Egypt seems to be doing quite well.

Indeed which makes this whole situation very interesting

I found the following article by the Irish Times to give a rather interesting take as to what was the final straw: Morsi (and Muslim Brotherhood) support of intervention in Syria.

Mr Morsi himself called for foreign intervention in Syria against Mr Assad, leading to a veiled rebuke from the army, which issued an apparently bland but sharp-edged statement the next day stressing that its only role was guarding Egypt’s borders.

I wonder how the US and NATO/the EU in general will respond to these recent changes in Egypt. From what I've seen, I think it might very well be a positive event against destabilization and wider war.
