Professor at Al-Azhar: extremism leads Egypt to atheism

Dr Amna Nossair, professor of religion and philosophy at Al-Azhar University, said that the increasing extremism in the Egyptian community leads many people to atheism. Islam, however, teaches us about tolerance and coexistence, said she.

 

Nossair added in a conference entitled "Renewing the national integration and management of religious pluralism in Egypt” that Egypt suffers because of those who have limited understanding of Islam to the extent that they consider everything “haram” and describe all people as infidels.
