Al-Azhar jails its critics
An institution that once led the world in religious thought now uses litigation to shut down debate and criticism.
In a century that has been defined from its start by the horrors of Islamist terrorism, ideas matter. Perpetrators of violence in the name of God are possessed of a religiously rooted ideology so compelling it can drive them to kill themselves as well as others in pursuit of its goals.

He often burst into sarcastic laughter, unusual for a serious Azari sheikh. Yet, this sarcastic laughter would become a trademark weapon with which Rushdy, the “modern sheikh” with his athletic build and elegant dress code, would silence opponents.
The debate with El-Behairy became Rushdy’s most famous. It helped create the image of the sheikh that would later dominate his social media and public profile – a teacher, sitting on a sofa facing a “troubled student.” He regularly interrupted El-B
