Where you least expect it: a world leader with class and courage. UPDATE: A counterpoint on Al-Sisi

From Egypt, land of President Anwar Sadat comes a man of bravery. Sadly, we recall what happened to President Sadat 

EGYPTIAN President Abdel Al-Fattah Al-Sisi is a better friend to Christians than the American president is
"President al-Sisi, wildly popular for his ousting of the Muslim Brotherhood government of Mohamed Morsi, paid a visit to a Coptic Christmas mass making him the first Egyptian leader to do so since Nasser.
"In case you didn’t know, Barack Hussein Obama loathes al-Sisi and is doing everything he can to undermine his presidency."  (Emphasis in the original)

"Egyptian President Al-Sisi at Coptic Christmas Mass: We Are All Egyptians"

Egyptian President el-Sisi’s Incredible Speech   "A Clip(sp) from Egyptian President el-Sisi’s remarkable and courageous speech can be heard below. It’s the speech President Obama should have given but never will.

"President el-Sisi called for a revolutionary change in his religion to save the Islamic nation from “being torn apart and destroyed”. He called it by name – radical Islam. President Obama shrinks from using the words “radical Islam” and cowers in the corners of the NY Times and other state-sponsored media, behind the skirts of Marie Harf and Jen Psaki and under the table of his Attorney General Eric Holder.

He spoke from his heart and the leadership he exhibited is not like anything we are seeing in the United States. Quite the opposite in fact.

"He didn’t stop there. He visited the Coptic Pope and he went to mass at a Coptic church on Christmas Eve.

"This is a man who can be looked up to. We used to have such men in the United States."

UPDATE:  El-Sisi’s Jihad Against Freedom of Conscience   "The Egyptian president's much-heralded speech bears no resemblance to his life's work."

"A recent PJ Media blog chastises mainstream (essentially Left) media for largely ignoring Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s 1/1/15 speech, an address much ballyhooed by conservatives (see for example, here, here, and here). This criticism of the Left-dominated media is warranted.
