#1 His Eyes are open. He has so far done the right things on the World stage, and more than just one Nation.

His counter balance to the void Obama left and the vacuum the MB was filling is a breath of fresh air.

No one in the Moslem world can deny it is dysfunctional at best, and constant bloodshead at worst.

Bless Al Sisi.
He delivered as promised.

#2 I expect that this speech (even if it really happened) will be suppressed, not reported on, ignored by the western MSM.

#3 al-Sisi has made an important step but the next step is up to the gang at al-azhar and the gang at the equivalent institutions in other Islamic states.

despite the fact that al-Sisi probably cleared this speech with the saudi royal family, odds are not good that they will take a decisive action

#6 Sisi Is Just Another Caliphate-Idealizing Apologist For Islam Whose In-Actions Speak Louder Than His Hollow Words

#8 It's a beginning. He speaks the truth unless it's a head fake. Head fakes are built into the religion ya know.

#9 newc, "No one in the Moslem world can deny it is dysfunctional at best, and constant bloodshed at worst."

The problem is that you are wrong here. They not only can, they do deny it all.

It's one of the reasons Democrats and Proggies can support them. They are masters of denial no matter how absurd it is. See Orwell, George.

#10 Sisi setting himself up for an Annual Anwar Sadat Military Parade and Review moment?

#11 Authoritarian sure, look at the circumstances. The MB was about to declare war on Israel and Ethiopia. Sisi's government has taken quite a few casualties but perhaps fewer than a passivist.

Even if the speech is pure consumption, those who have laid their cards opposite of Sisi will be forced to respond even if for consumption - or concede.

Speech is right on. I'd think if he referenced the world population, he is talking big umma. Quit trying to out radicool each other is a good statement and goal, whatever the motivation.
