General Abdul Fateh al-Sesi is the military leader who ousted former President Morsi. He may become the next president of Egypt.
Since then, the Muslim Brotherhood, which had formally been illegal, is once again in the bad books of the law.
The June Revolution was the response of the general population to a regime that was going to bring in "Shariah Law".
Recently, General Sesi's speec to his Egyptian people contained motivation for changing the way Egyptians relate to each other, and how they identify and practice their religion.
First, "Religious discourse is the greatest battle and challenge facing the Egyptian people."
Secondly, Islam in Egypt needs to be updated with modern understandings. It has not changed for 800 years and it needs a new version.:
He called on , "called on all true followers of Islam to aid in the changing (improving) the image of Islam to the world." He no longer wants Islam to be seen as dedicated to violence and destruction. To him, much of the violence against individuals and the stare are "crimes committed in the name of Islam."
