“From” is the operative word. President Sisi has been relentless enemy of the terrorists, including MB.

Egypt was very lucky to have someone like el-Sisi appear and take control at a critical time for and in Egypt.

He certainly *seems to be* against MB and pro fighting (Islamic) terrorism in Egypt. Then, we can argue that Mullahs in Iran have also been fighting ISIS, and AQ offshoots (aka moderate rebels in Syria).

el-Sisi is clever, plays his cards very close to his chest, is politically & diplomatically skillful (similar to Iranian mullahs), hard to read, and I don’t trust him (yet). If you do your own research, you’ll find out that el-Sisi has contradicted himself in words at least regarding his stance on Islam and Islamism (as an ideology).

All the above, IMO, doesn’t make him a ‘bad’ person. And, I acknowledge the situation in the ME and North Africa is very convoluted, complex, and fluid, with loyalties that can change at a drop of a hat. So I’d err on the side of caution and try not to pigeon-hole (including Israel and Bibi, they are a BIG player). We shall see how matters continue to develop and what happens...

Solidwood: I’m just including you in the conversation thinking you might be interested - let me know if you don’t want me to ping you here.
