Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Egypt’s Sisi: Freedom of expression stops when it comes to ‘offending the feelings’ of Muslims

Nov 2, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 28 Comments

A few years ago, al-Sisi, in a speech before Muslim clerics from al-Azhar, said “we are in need of a religious revolution.” Nothing happened, but for years afterward I was asked about this in numerous interviews, as if it heralded genuine reform in Islam. This latest statement from al-Sisi likely won’t extinguish the fond hopes […]

Egypt: After Islamic State bombings at churches, Sisi to declare three-month state of emergency

Apr 10, 2017 11:43 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The country has struggled with the growing problem of Islamic extremism since the military coup. Perhaps Sisi’s intent in declaring a state of emergency is to give an appearance to Egyptians and the world that something tangible is being done to combat the forces of jihad that are plaguing Egypt and the rest of the […]

Egypt: Muslims shoot Christian teacher in the head as attacks on Christians escalate

Feb 18, 2017 10:50 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Economist reported in December that “a massacre of Coptic Christians” in Egypt is underway, and identified “disgruntled Islamists” who are out to revenge Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi’s crackdown of the Muslim Brotherhood. Coptic Christians strongly supported el-Sisi’s ouster of his MB predecessor, Mohammed Morsi. Former Unit 777 (an Egyptian military counter-terrorism and special operations unit) chief-of-staff […]

Trump affirms support for Egypt’s fight against terror in phone call with Sisi

Jan 23, 2017 5:05 pm By Robert Spencer

Sisi’s regime isn’t perfect. Muslims are still brutalizing Christians in Egypt, and the government has done little to protect this despised and defenseless minority. At the same time, Sisi is a bulwark against political Islam in the Middle East. With Turkey rapidly re-Islamizing and the Islamic State still in the picture, that is important. So […]

Egypt strengthens ties with Hamas

Dec 20, 2016 8:30 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The decision to “strengthen ties with Hamas” bears troubling implications despite the “anti-Islamic State campaign” excuse, particularly regarding Egypt’s relations with Israel. Egypt’s strengthening of relations with Hamas suggests that Egypt is heading in a direction opposite to the one that President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi indicated when he called for Islamic reform. It is also […]

Raymond Ibrahim: Sisi Revisits ‘Egypt’s Identity Crisis’

Jan 30, 2015 5:01 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

[FrontPage Mag, via RaymondIbrahim.com] Of all the recent calls for reform made by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, perhaps most adamant has been his insistence that all Egyptians—Muslims and Christians—see themselves first and foremost as Egyptians. This came out very clearly when he visited the St. Mark Coptic Cathedral during Christmas Eve mass.  Then, he […]

Raymond Ibrahim: Sisi’s Brave New Egypt?

Jan 22, 2015 10:03 am By Raymond Ibrahim

[Originally published by PJ Media, via RaymondIbrahim.com] Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi continues to be the antithesis of longstanding mainstream media portrayals of him. First there was his historic speech where he, leader of the largest Arab nation, and a Muslim, accused Islamic thinking of being the scourge of humanity—in words that no Western leader […]

Egypt’s Sisi: “We are in need of a religious revolution”

Jan 6, 2015 12:32 pm By Robert Spencer

The speech that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi recently made calling for Islamic reform is getting quite a bit of attention, and warrants close examination. Here are the excerpts that Raymond Ibrahim posted here at Jihad Watch a few days ago, with my comments interspersed: I am referring here to the religious clerics. We have […]

Egypt’s Sisi: Islamic “thinking” is “antagonizing the entire world”

Jan 2, 2015 3:13 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

[Via RaymondIbrahim.com] Speaking before Al-Azhar and the Awqaf Ministry on New Year’s Day, 2015, in connection to Prophet Muhammad’s upcoming birthday, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, a vocal supporter for a renewed vision of Islam, made what must be his most forceful and impassioned plea to date on the subject. Among other things, Sisi said […]
