Sisi is nearly single-handedly fighting radical Islam at its core. What makes this even more interesting is that he seems to be getting no support from Western media or from all appearances, Western governments (if you do a google search on "reaction to Sisi's speech, the first page is almost entirely conservative sites).

Obummer was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize before he had done anything (and six years later still has done nothing to further world peace - or is it whirled peas?). Are there any bets that Sisi will somehow be overlooked for the next Peace Prize? But then, I don't think that that award has ever been given to anyone who has even stopped a fist fight.

Many of us are clamoring to hear from "moderate" Muslims. While the elites in media and government are excusing or defecting blame for radical Islamic violence, they are at the same time ignoring one of the most important moderate Muslim stories.

To me, this implies that the press and the silent Western governments are either afraid of blow back from radical Islam or are not really interested in moderate Muslims in the first place.

Bush was slammed for telling the world that they were either with us (against the terrorists) or against us (for the terrorists). He was right. Sisi is apparently with us. The media and Western governments... maybe not so much.
