Trial date set for blogger Kareem
Egyptian blogger Kareem, who’s been in police custody for two months pending investigation, will show up in Moharram Beik Court Thursday 18 January, to face charges that include: posting articles on the internet deemed “insulting” to the president and the Islamic faith.
For those religious conservatives cheering Kareem’s arrest, and his expulsion from Al-Azhar University for his “anti-Islamic views”… The regime that detained and put Kareem on trial, is the same regime that kidnapped 180 Muslim Brotherhood students from Al-Azhar dorms and has Khairat el-Shatter slowly dying in prison… is the same regime that denies Copts equal treatment as citizens of this country… is the same regime that sodomizes leftists and ordinary citizens… is the same regime that intimidates workers on strikes… is the same regime that tortured and killed the peasants of Sarando.
Wake up! It’s not about liking Kareem’s ideas or not. You cheer Kareem’s persecution today, your turn is coming tomorrow!
Al-Azhar Dean to ‘monitor classrooms’
Al-Azhar University administration, led by its pro-Mubarak Dean Ahmad Tayyeb Naggar, is on fast track campaign of stifling dissent on campus, and now inside classrooms.
After blessing the security crackdown on the Free Student Union in Al-Azhar, and regretting “it didn’t happen earlier, by the start of the university semester,” Naggar is now planning to “monitor the classrooms” for any subversive ideas. Defending Naggar’s move, the head of Al-Azhar Professors Association Hassan Oweida said: “It’s the University Dean’s right to monitor classes and textbooks, according to the Law 103, to keep Al-Azhar’s centrism.” This is important, Oweida added, since “it was discovered some Al-Azhar professors were teaching Baha’ism and Communism to their students.”
It always amuses me when Al-Azhar University gets referred to in newswires and Western publications reports as the “highest seat of Sunni learning” or as the “most prestigious Sunni institution in the Muslim World.”
