Egypt just witnessed the appointment of its 1st female Culture Minister. Salafists are opposing her, because they are opposed to women in leadership positions, though they also claim she isn't qualified. The lady says she refuses to be cowed by the Salafists.
Salafism should be put in the same boat as Nazism, Fascism,Totalitarianism etc..

Egypt’s Salafist movements have millions of followers. In addition to opposing women taking positions of leadership, Salafists are opposed to the presence of non-Muslims in leadership posts. In 2012, Salafists staged mass protests against the appointment of a Christian as governor of the southern province of Luxor.
Sisi did not persecute Salafists like he did Muslim Brotherhood members. The Salafist Al Noor party, which opposed the Brotherhood, went along with Sisi's purge of the MB.
