Video appears to have "disappeared without a trace" :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Vince Emmer (United States), Aug 29, 2015 at 11:34

"Yes, Sisi's comments are stronger, but he is not a religious authority and, in all likelihood, they too will disappear without a trace."

Video of that speech has apparently disappeared from YouTube and MEMRI. I watched it and forwarded it many times. Can Middle East Forum direct me to a copy?

If indeed, that video is no longer available, the story behind its withdrawal would be fascinating. And telling.
