Egypt is reeling after an attack on a Sufi mosque in the Sinai Peninsula. At least 235 people are dead after gunmen attacked the mosque and gunned down worshipers as they fled the mosque.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that this attack was carried out by Christians or every day "Islamophobes". This was an Islamic attack, most likely by ISIS. Sufist Muslims, who practice a mystical form of Islam, are normally not affiliated with extremist violence and terrorism and are considered as heretics by mainstream Muslims. In addition, the military leadership under President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, is opposed to the extremists, who previously enjoyed favor under the Muslim Brotherhood government of Mohamad Morsi, who in turn, was overthrown by the military.
The current Egyptian government is fighting Islamic terror. They were not supported by the Obama administration, which favored the deposed Muslim Brotherhood. The government of El-Sisi should be supported in that effort.
