EGYPT Individual Views of Commissioner Johnnie Moore Despite all the complications of managing the Arab world’s largest country, often in the crosshairs of terrorists, Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi deserves credit for assuming personal responsibility for the republic’s interfaith harmony. He has often led by example, has always taken the issue seriously, and has worked personally to protect and foster peaceful coexistence among Egypt’s varied religious communities. I commend el-Sisi for it. I have also appreciated his willingness to indulge in direct and brutally honest conversations with various interlocutors along the way, unlike many world leaders. Of course, Egypt must continue along its path until every Egyptian citizen in every part of the country feels they can practice their faith without fear. 68 USCIRF | ANNUAL REPORT 2021
