I kind of hope they succeed in this. Let’s leave no doubt that, under Islam, it means to be a living death.
That’s already happened. This is the high water mark for Salafism in the ME. Egyptians, aren’t Saudis, aren’t Turks, aren’t Iranians, and so on and so forth. The Egyptians had a taste of life under the Salafists and they don’t like it. Neither do the Turks.
If they get their way via repression, they lose. If they don’t, they lose.
