Sisi generally stands against the Salafists, but he also recognizes that they constitute a major portion of Egypt’s population. So he, like many other Egyptian Presidents before him, has to practice steam control, allowing them to have their way enough to pacify them somewhat and keep the whole country from exploding.
“Egypt Reinstates Dangerous Radical Islamist,” International Christian Concern, August 19, 2019:
08/19/2019 Egypt (International Christian Concern) – Egypt’s President Sisi has reinstated a known Salafist extremist leader, allowing him to deliver sermons at an Alexandria mosque despite heavy opposition because of his reputation for intolerance.
Opponents have voiced concerns that Sisi made this decision to discredit Muslim Brotherhood propaganda, which says that the president is waging a war against political Islam. Egypt is an officially Islamic country. Thus, this kind of propaganda is viewed as a serious threat to leadership.
Salafists maintain a strict version of Islam and are extremely hostile towards non-Muslims. The Salafist leader who was reinstated, Yasser Borhami, has a widespread reputation for controversial edicts. He encourages the idea that Christians are not full citizens of Egypt. He has promoted violent concepts towards women and other minority groups. As part of his reinstatement conditions, Borhami was given restrictions on what he can preach. However, few believe that he will comply…

Former imam, Ex-Muslim, Christian pastor Mark Gabriel should get the call…

“…and he causes all, both both small and great, , rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their forheads:…”
– Revelation 13:16
Now what on earth do you suppose sent me keying out that verse?
Diane Harvey says
What a zebibah !!!
Ooooh, how all the Muslimas must swoon.
CRUSADER says
I just see it as a designated target !
tim gallagher says
Very funny comment, Diane. Yeah, for hardline Muslimas that damage he’s done to himself is probably considered to be a status symbol and attractive. Very different ideals of what beauty is. I think hitting your head on the ground over and over like that would help to increase the brain damage these oh so pious Muslim clowns (poseurs rather) already suffer from, sort of like the repeated concussion some footballers suffer from. Seriously, what a ridiculous thing to do to yourself. Such a great achievement! I agree, CRUSADER and Carl, it’s a good target. Then again, there would be no brain there for the bullet to hit.
Angemon says
Can those “controversial edicts” be challenged on islamic grounds?
FYI says
I believe in the UK Yasser is pronounced Tosser:I’ll confirm that with my English relatives…
FYI says
An uncle of mine who was a fluent Arabic speaker worked for the British Embassy in Saudi Arabia and Sudan and used to refer to Yasser Arafat as Tosser Marrowfat..and the Saudis as Soddymites,,
Wellington says
Congratulations, that’s the most ugly, egregious-ass zebibah I think I have ever seen. It’s a “winner.”
As a “bonus,” think what this bonehead knows and appreciates about liberty. Yes, ponder this for a moment or two.
All the five-times-a-day praying with ass in the air and mutilation on the forehead and over many, many centuries now—and for what? A fictional Allah? May Allah strike me dead tonight if I got this wrong.
Be back soon. Like tomorrow.

Egypt: President lets Muslim cleric who promotes violence against women and infidels to preach at Alexandria mosque
…………..
As many other posters have already noted, that’s one hell of a Zebiba. Literally.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women. Blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
joanofark06 says
Sorry Catholics are just as wrong as to who their praying too, as the muslims are!
Our bibles tell us how to pray, and WHO to pray to, and it’s NOT to mother mary!!
Praying to Mary (or other saints) as mediators is meaningless and contradicts the teaching of Christ and the examples of scores of men and women of the Bible.
You need more info on this? Read this:
Should You Pray To Mary?
https://lifehopeandtruth.com/god/prayer-fasting-and-meditation/how-to-pray/should-you-pray-to-mary/
Where you’ll learn about THESE facts:
1. Mary is not in heaven.
2. The Bible tells us to pray to the Father.
3. Jesus Christ is the sole Mediator between God and man.
At one point in His ministry, a woman interrupted Jesus with a statement about how blessed His mother was to bear Him (Luke 11:27). Jesus’ response was, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” (verse 28).
Instead of praying to or venerating Mary, follow her example of lifelong dedication to hearing the Word of God and keeping it!
Wellington says
I don’t really give a damn if the Catholics are wrong here since they are not killing non-Catholics in the name of their faith. Muslims en masse in the name of their faith are. HUGE DIFFERENCE!
Wise up. Quit with the idiotic moral and theological relativism.
CogitoErgoSum says
joanark06, you do know that Joan of Arc is a Catholic saint who said she heard voices from Heaven which included Saint Catherine of Alexandria and Saint Margaret, don’t you?
gravenimage says
It is not Catholics who are promoting violence against women and children–that would be Muslims.
CRUSADER says
Israel should’ve kept the Sinai peninsula !
SAFI says
Yep. Now Sinai has become a terror hub.

Beating his head on the floor will not make islam true.
