He has forgotten that Egypt has religious pluralism. Can you imagine the situation that Egypt&#8217;s Christian women are facing, now that they are exposed to terror? Mabrouk tried to drag us into a religious arena and enlist his viewers&#8217; help in the [fight] against women, using the veil [as an excuse]. This is another accusation, an accusation of heresy.

There is a strange connection between their showing up and [the issue] of the woman&#8217;s body.

The victim was a student named Iman Arshid, who was murdered by a fellow student for the same reason: she rebuffed his burning love. The only difference between the two victims was the Jordanian martyr did wear the veil. It was as though fate wanted to silence those who go to extremes in their religious discourse and actions, and [demonstrate] that the crime [of murder] is blind and does not care whether the woman&#8217;s hair [is covered or not], and that this distinction exists only in the minds of the so-called clerics.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8222;One of those [preachers] who go to extremes in their religious discourse and actions [although] religion has nothing to do with them said that 'the reason for the crime was the objectifying of women in [television] dramas and films\u2026&#8217; This begs the question: Who is it that objectifies women and turns them into cheap commodities that can be bought and sold?

She wrote: &#8222;Studies published by the relevant research centers stress that physical and sexual assault on women has nothing to do with what they wear, or with so called 'immodest appearance.&#8217; On the contrary, many women who do wear the hijab and niqab experience more harassment [than those who don\u2019t], on the street, on public transportation, at the beach, at the cinema, in coffee shops and in every [public] space. [These spaces] are open to everyone, but not to women, who have to think hard before gathering the courage and the mental strength to bravely realize their basic right as human beings&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8222;These incidents [of murder] were not random. This is a social rift that will exact a heavy price from us for generations to come, and the victims will mostly be women. Whereas some countries had revolutions and uprisings [that caused them to]\u00a0 reconsider the status of women, in [other countries] this issue, and society\u2019s treatment of women, remain far removed from any reexamination\u2026 Let us genuinely reexamine the education system, not because this a demand of the new 'friends and allies&#8217; of some of our countries, but in order to restore to Arab women their dignity and their rights as human beings. [Let us] stop the ignorant clerics, instead of scrutinizing peaceful political associations. It would also be beneficial if families reconsidered the way they bring up their daughters and sons. The solutions are clear, simple and easy, if only the decision-makers, who pay a bunch of media figures to condemn [the murders], would [start] doing something other than voice condemnations for several hours and then forget all about [the incident] until the next woman is murdered, and then another and another, like sheep [slaughtered] for the holiday.&#8221;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.memri.org\/reports\/outrage-egypt-over-statements-al-azhar-lecturer-excusing-murder-immodest-women#_edn5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[5]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.memri.org\/reports\/outrage-egypt-over-statements-al-azhar-lecturer-excusing-murder-immodest-women#_ednref1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[1]<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0This is apparently a reference to statements made several years ago by the Sheikh of Al-Azhar, Ahmad Al-Tayyeb, on a television program, in which he said: &#8222;[Wearing] the hijab, namely covering the head and the hair, is a commandment incumbent on all Muslim women. It is mentioned in the Honorable Qur&#8217;an, and the entire [Islamic] nation agrees on it. [However,] it is forbidden to claim that a woman who does not wear the veil has left the fold of Islam.
