THE GENERAL HAS A RADICAL MESSAGE FOR ISLAMISTS

General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the President of Egypt is no Johnny come lately. He has spoken out against extremists for some time. Even engaging the United States to take action where ever needed.  His recent speech at the 1000 year old religious institution Al-Azhar confirms his belief that radical religious leaders have incited, inflamed, encouraged and most likely funded the Islamist to render havoc on the Christian world.  Islam he says in brief is living in the 5th century.

Excerpts from a Dec. 28 speech by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, translated by the Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI):

I am addressing the religious scholars and clerics. We must take a long, hard look at the current situation. I have talked about this several times in the past. We must take a long, hard look at the situation we are in. It is inconceivable that the ideology we sanctify should make our entire nation a source of concern, danger, killing, and destruction all over the world. It is inconceivable that this ideology. . . .

I am referring not to ‘religion,’ but to ‘ideology’—the body of ideas and texts that we have sanctified in the course of centuries, to the point that challenging them has become very difficult. . . .

It has reached the point that [this ideology] is hostile to the entire world. Is it conceivable that 1.6 billion [Muslims] would kill the world’s population of seven billion, so that they could live [on their own]? This is inconceivable. I say these things here, at Al-Azhar, before religious clerics and scholars. May Allah bear witness on Judgment Day to the truth of your intentions, regarding what I say to you today. You cannot see things clearly when you are locked [in this ideology]. You must emerge from it and look from outside, in order to get closer to a truly enlightened ideology. You must oppose it with resolve. Let me say it again: We need to revolutionize our religion. . . .

Honorable Imam [the Grand Sheik of Al-Azhar], you bear responsibility before Allah. The world in its entirety awaits your words, because the Islamic nation is being torn apart, destroyed, and is heading to perdition. We ourselves are bringing it to perdition.
