@coldjoint,
Hamas knows the French will be counting their friends and foes based on reactions to this. The French attitude to Islamic terror - already pretty aggressive, see Mali yesterday and Iraq nowadays - is bound to harden further. The multiple sympathy reactions to the Charlie massacre from Muslim governments or clerics (even one from Saudi Arabia... ) need evidently to be seen in this light. For the palestinians, the french are strategic because we are arguably the most pro-palestinian nation in the west. For French mullahs, the crisis evoke fears of massive anti-Muslim onslaught in France. Or at the very least more islamophobia.
But there is something positive there. A form of slow, patient education of the masses through... well, cartoons, debate, soul-searching a bit... Learning to live together bit by bit. Hopefully.
Sissi rightly pointed out the need for a muslim refoundation, a reform of the faith. Not so sure the muslims 'officialdom' whom he was addressing in the cairo university can do it though.
Edit: By officialdom I mean clerics linked to/ stooges of the government, in Egypt or elsewhere. They have limited credibility among the masses from what I gather.
