The speech was Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi's boldest effort yet to position himself as a modernizer of Islam. His professed goal is to purge the religion of extremist ideas of intolerance and violence that fuel groups like al-Qaida and the Islamic State - and that appear to have motivated Wednesday's attack in Paris on a French satirical newspaper that killed 12 people.
But those looking for the "Muslim Martin Luther" bringing a radical Reformation of Islam may be overreaching - and making a false comparison to begin with. El-Sissi is clearly seeking to impose change through the state, using government religious institutions like the 1,000-year-old al-Azhar, one of the most eminent centers of Sunni Muslim thought and teaching.

hey 8:37
you said "he is a good man for islam" .
At one point in my life I would have believed your statement.
Now , however, I don't trust any muslim , it reminds me of the African American movement , but Ferguson ruined that also.
A few rotten apples have spoiled the bunch of both .
Both of these movements need to be exterminated , like roaches they multiply without reason.
Just remember this , the Muslims have been fighting each other for thousands of years , I just wonder why.
Just pretend the abrogated Koran verses are the verses Muhammad wanted to implement....
