Islamic State raises stakes with Egypt mosque attack
Abdel Fattah al-Sisi
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi  has once again threatened to crush the militants.
âThe armed forces and the police will avenge our martyrs and restore security and stability with the utmost force in the coming period â  he  said after Fridayâs carnage.
 Sisi  has called for a comprehensive campaign to counter what  he  describes as the existential threat of radical jihadism  deploying moderate clerics to promote moderate Islam  for instance.
 He  is expected to run for a second term early next year. Even with a convincing win   he  will face pressure to deliver on promises of stability  especially if attacks like that on  Al Rawdah  persist.
In a December 2016 issue of al-Nabaa  one of the groupâs religious leaders left little doubt that Sufis would be targeted. It mentioned  Al Rawdah  directly.
