Egypt's Sisi turns Islam on the Islamists
 [Egypt Independent] As the Egyptian state presses its crackdown on the Moslem Brüderbund, the man expected to become president has deployed a new weapon in the battle with the Islamists: his own vision of Islam.Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the former army chief who deposed the Brotherhood's Mohammed Morsy and is expected to be elected president later this month, has cast himself as a defender of religion and taken aim at the doctrinal foundations of Islamist groups the state is seeking to crush.
