Egypt’s President Choosing Christian Fundamentalists Over Muslim Fundamentalists

Five days after speaking to Muslim fundamentalists at al-Azhar University in Cairo, where he proceeded to admonish the Islamic scholars that Islam requires a revolution, Egyptian President Abdel Fatah el-Sisi attended a Coptic Christian Christmas Mass and spoke to Christian fundamentalists in attendance.
