Sisi also called for countering “extremist” views and erroneous religious beliefs, adding that the Islamic value of tolerance must be promoted.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi again called on Sunday for a “religious revolution” against extremism within the Islamic world in an interview on a religious public radio station.

I’m constantly amazed at Obama’s subtle brilliance. He has managed to spark a true revolution, all the while protecting it from being labeled a western imperialist plot.

There’s a real prophecy about Egypt in the end of days.

The prophecy, by the way, might be surprising for some. It’s a positive one.
