Abstract: 

A deadly bombing of a Cairo church by the Islamic State allowed an autocratic government to endow itself with further security powers. President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi was emboldened by the approval he received by a clueless US government, unaware of the long-term consequences of human rights violations.
