The Moderate Front (also called the Moderate Islamist Front for Combating Violence and Extremism,[1] the Islamic Alliance to Support Stability and Renounce Violence[2] and the Movement of Moderation to Confront the Religious Extremism)[3] is an alliance composed of former jihadis, ex-members of the Muslim Brotherhood and ex-al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya members.[2] The leader of the alliance is Sabra al-Qasemy al-Wasateyya,[4] who was a former member of Egyptian Islamic Jihad.[3] The alliance was founded after the 30 June ouster of Mohamed Morsi and subsequent attacks on civilians.[2] The coalition has supported Abdel Fattah el-Sisi for president in the Egyptian 2014 presidential election.[4] The Muslim Brotherhood has been criticized by the group for its calling for protests on the anniversary of the Mohamed Mahmoud clashes;[5] the members of the alliance want the Brotherhood to turn away from violence.[6] One of the members of the organization, Amr Emara,[4] is also the coordinator of the Dissident Brotherhood Youth Alliance.[7] The leader of the Democratic Jihad Party (Yasser Saad)[8] is currently a member of the front.[3]
The organization worked on a book to combat takfir ideology;[3] the book was published in October 2013 and distributed in Arish.[9]
