“We chose him, and will follow him,” croons Abdel Halim Hafez, singing about the post-colonial leader, but the lyrics hold new meaning after president Abdel Fattah El Sisi announced on Monday that the military hadstruck ISIL targets in Libya.

“Ever since June 30 there’s a lot of 60s kind of patriotism that has been resurrected,” said Ziad Akl, a senior researcher at the Al Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, referring to the 2013 protests that ousted president Mohammed Morsi.

“Its been there but definitely after the execution of the Egyptians in Libya and after the airstrikes the intensity has risen.”

It seems to me, sally-----that ISIS hatred has struck many corners of the
Ummah. -----gee-----some things never change-----There was another time

Nina Shea always writes a good article. In this article, she tells about the persecution of the Christians in Egypt. Hopefully now after what happened, most of the Muslims in Egypt will continue to think fairly about their Christian citizens.

Nina Shea

The horror in Libya could have come from a Hieronymus Bosch painting of hell: 21 knife-wielding figures hacking the heads off 21 young men in orange jumpsuits along the shoreline, blood staining the surf red. But this was no imagined scene — it was the mass execution of Egyptian Copts who had been kidnapped by Islamic State terrorists.
