Daily News Egypt: Nader Soliman, founder and head of the Christian Youth Movement, is calling for President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi to be awarded the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize, Soliman told Daily News Egypt Wednesday.
Soliman supported his request to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, who give out the award, with what Pulitzer prize-winning columnist George Will said on 12 January. Will stated that if the Nobel Peace Prize committee is looking for someone who plausibly the prize, they could start with the Egyptian President.
Al-Sisi called for a “religious revolution” against extremism and terrorism in a televised speech on the first day of 2015.
The president said the problem does not lie in a doctrine, but rather it lies in a school of thought that becomes sacred. It is not logical that a school of thought drives the “whole Ummah [Islamic nation] to become a source of concern, danger, murder and devastation across the world”.
