Vice president of the Shura Council of the Egyptian Islamic Group (Al-Jamaa Al-Islamiya) Osama Hafez said that Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi‘s statements on the role of Islam in politics “aim at pleasing the west at the expense of Islam.”
“Al-Sisi has been waging a war against Islam since the military coup,” Hafez said.
Hafez added that Al-Sisi’s statements on the “war on terrorism” are in line with those by Western leaders “whose real war is against Syria, Egypt and Libya.”
