Egypt's Al-Sisi a Big Disappointment to Coptic Christians
2017-11-29
h/t Instapundit
When Egyptian general Al-Sisi ousted the Muslim Brotherhood from power, many in the West celebrated his coup. The Muslim Brotherhood's leader, Mohammed Morsi, had been an extremist intent on "cleansing" his country of Egypt's Christians, known as Copts.

However, since becoming president, Al-Sisi has done little to nothing to protect the Copts. In fact, under his rule, more churches have been closed down than ever before. Christians are regularly targeted by Islamist extremist terrorists, and Copts generally feel that they may not have a future in their country.
For some reason, all this search for Muslim allies reminds me of The Great White Hope story
