Most of the nation’s talking heads took a break the first day of the holy month, with the exception of Amr Adib, who mostly covered the latest terror attack on Minya, which claimed the lives of at least 29 Coptic Christians on Friday (We have full coverage in this morning’s Speed Round).

On last night’s Kol Youm, Adib said that Egypt has only ever sent its air force outside the country when terror attacks hit its Coptic Christian minority, which the host said was the country’s Achilles heel (watch, runtime 0:49).

Former Ikhwani leader Mokhtar Nouh told Adib that Daesh plays the sectarian strife game in every country it has hit and has intensified its attacks on Egypt because so far they’ve proven unsuccessful (watch, runtime 1:09).

PROGRAMMING NOTE- Many talk shows run infrequently or go on hiatus during the Holy Month, replaced by the dreaded mosalsalat (Ramadan serials). We’ll have talk shows throughout the Holy Month when / if they run and include content other than some B-grade star / starlet “singing” a cappella in studio.
