What are the latest rumblings on the caliphate bombing the mystic shrines? Egyptians pissed?
Any rumblings on Turki Al-Faisal's op-ed?
The Egyptian reaction is pretty unique. First off, they're super duper proud and arrogant about their military. Second, they view themselves as guardians of Islam. And third, they still consider Egypt as the "Umm al Donia"/"Mother of the Earth" and the rightful regional power (although that sweet Saudi cash is nice, too).
So, they hate ISIS (which they call Daesh) but they have absolutely no fear of them, since Sisi would kick their ass if they tried that crap in the Land of the Quiver. Also, they blame the U.S., since it's a commonly accepted fact here that the U.S. and its "Greater Middle East" plan systematically destroyed all the strongest armies in the Arab World (starting with Iraq, then moving through Syria and Libya) as part of its end game of balkanizing and subjugating the region via the fomenting of sectarian strife and the U.S. "creation of terrorism" and terrorist groups.
So, they pretty much see everything going according to our sneaky little plan, except they foiled the lynchpin by sniffing out our plot to conspire with the Muslim Brotherhood and Israel to destroy last remaining strong Arab army (Egypt's, of course) and to start settling Palestinians in Sinai and partitioning off Suez and ceding it to Israel (which has already begun via sneaky contracts selling land to Israeli owners and did you know that the two blue bars on the Israeli flag represent the Nile and Euphrates which are the borders Israel ultimately intends to secure in its Zionist expansion?)
