General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi promised he would reform the Egyptian school texts and curriculum, and according to Marcus Sheff of the NGO IMPACT-se, he has kept his word.

Egypt’s Sisi: Islamic scholars must counter ‘erroneous thoughts that spread with aim of distorting image of Islam’
Here again we see “Islamophobia” used in the sense of criticism of Islam. “Anti-Islamophobia” initiatives advance in the West under the guise of combating vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims. But once they’re in place, these measures are used to silence any negative discussion of Islam, including discussion of the role of Islamic texts and teachings […]
Egypt’s Sisi: Erdogan ‘now openly uses the Islamic factor,’ warns of ‘wave of terrorists in Greece in the future’
The warning from the Egyptian President should put the EU on alert to not tolerate jihadist expansion by Turkey, which is aiming to revive the Ottoman Empire. Back in 2016, Foreign Policy Magazine warned that “Turkey’s new Maps” were “reclaiming the Ottoman Empire” and that Erdogan’s “aggressive nationalism” was “spilling over Turkey’s borders, grabbing land […]
Egypt’s el-Sisi: “If you go to a country that welcomes you, you must respect its laws, traditions and culture”
A remarkably clear-sighted and honest statement. Be sure to read it all.

Egyptian President Sisi: “Trump has true understanding of terrorism”
Sisi’s view of Trump is in stark contrast to his view of Obama, who notoriously supported and emboldened the Muslim Brotherhood and jihadists domestically and abroad. Breitbart reported last June about the MB’s fifth column infiltration of the White House, and Egyptians during the overthrow of the Brotherhood regime denounced Obama’s support for it. Following […]
Downed EgyptAir jetliner had been tagged with graffiti: “We will bring this plane down”
“Three EgyptAir security officials said the threatening graffiti, which appeared about two years ago, had been the work of aviation workers at Cairo Airport. Playing on the phonetic similarity between the last two letters in the plane’s registration, SU-GCC, and the surname of Egypt’s president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, some workers also wrote ‘traitor’ and ‘murderer.’” […]
Islamic law overrides Egyptian law in case of recent church attack, says Coptic priest
According to a local priest and Coptic spokesman, last Friday’s assault on a Coptic Christian church proposed to be built, with President Sisi’s permission, to honor the 21 Coptic Christians who were slaughtered by the Islamic State in Libya, was all too typical and a reminder that Islamic Sharia sentiment continues to trump the sovereignty […]
