We have a lot of clout with Egypt due to the aid that we give them.
We ought to suggest that they need to appease the biggest Christian country in the world, if they want to keep getting our stuff...
After the Muslim Brotherhood, with Obama support, took control of Egypt a few years ago. They attacked and destroyed Christian churches, killed Christians and persecuted them terribly. When Al Sisi drove out the MB and became President he immediately began repairing and rebuilding churches, and met with their leaders pledging support. Each Christmas he appears at the Coptic Cathedral to affirm his support. That is why Obama hated Al Sisi.
