Brushing Aside Media Criticism, Egypt's Sisi Preaches Tolerance

Mubarak wasn’t as impressive as Sadat. That’s why I’m hoping al-Sisi takes really good care of himself; we might get another Mubarak.

Yeah, Mubarak passed up a chance to hang Ayman al-Zawahiri, at the time a junior member of the Mooselimb Brotherhood, now the top guy in AQ.

Did you know that Dr al-Zawahiri speaks English?

The above rant was delivered from Mubarak's cage, al-Zawahiri having been swept up in the dragnet following Sadat's assassination. Regrettably, he was cut loose.

What Egypt needs is an Ataturk. Hopefully, al-Sisi is that person.

About the same life expectancy, though.

From my understanding there are Muslims like Sisi whom consider themselves to be benevolent and well meaning. I once had a young Muslim friend from Jordan who explained to me that there are basically two parts to the Koran. One part is like our Old Testament, he said, and the other part is like our New Testament. He said all the violent parts are in one section, but that many Muslims today go by the other nonviolent section.

The only problem I see with this is that from my understanding the more non violent section is the from the beginning and it becomes more violent as the book goes along. So you would think that the violent section is more present and therefore would supersede the more benevolent nonviolent section. That must be the way the violent Muslims see it.
