Egyptian researcher Islam Behery said in a January 29, 2023 interview on Sky News Arabia (UAE) that Islam will not survive if it does not undergo reform. He said that Islam currently has “a problem” with modernity, women, politics, banking, medicine, science, human rights, and personal liberties, and that Islamic institutions are currently preaching the same extremist Islamic heritage that gave rise to ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Al-Jama’a Al-Islamiyya, and the Muslim Brotherhood, which leads to terrorism.
Back in 2015, an Egyptian court has confirmed a prison term for a former TV host and a researcher in Islamic heritage found guilty of “defaming religious symbols, imams and senior scholars.” A court of appeals reduced Islam Behery’s prison term to one year from five Behery’s lawyer, Gamil Said.
Before his show was suspended in April, Behery argued that historic Islamic texts, some upheld and deemed sacred by Al-Azhar, the pre-eminent seat of Sunni Islamic scholarship, contain passages that promote extremism. He said such texts need to be reviewed and that in some cases, passages from historic texts need to be discarded. Behery’s comments, and his debates with mainstream Islamic scholars, sparked public outrage earlier this year.
To be sure, such murders have happened before – and recently. See: Mahmoud Taha – A Sudanese muslim scholar who was judged a heretic and hung… Why? He claimed non-violent Jihad, among other things, could be non violent and equal the work of those doing the killing… And they killed him for it
There is one answer to this entire religion and it involves the use of Uranium 235
No, the extremism is only when the passages are compared to Western civilization. Otherwise, the passages conform perfectly to the hatred, falsity, and backwardness of Islam.
One needs to understand that virtually the entire Middle Eastern theocracies base their regimes on a radical Islam not only to stay in power but to justify their iron clad on their own populations and same time undermine western societies. This is why their clerics are instructed to preach like that.
The article I linked to above is about another journalist — Ibrahim Eissa — who has asserted that Mohammed didn’t fly on a winged mule to Heaven on TV.
The trio of Islam El-Behery, Ibrahim Eissa, and Khaled Montasser have 24/7/365 armed bodyguards, as their views are incompatible with the faith of the vast majority of Moslems in Egyptstan, who tend to go apeshit crazy over the slightest ‘insult’ to their firmly held beliefs.
From the common people; the Egyptian government just taxes the Hell out of them as they rake in serious dough owing to their controversial views which garner millions of viewers on TV!

There is no reform possible when they’re told 91 times Mohammad is their perfect example.

Common sense in Islam is too much to ask for. He won’t live long.

This man is 100% clear of Islam’s compatibility with modern times, but he needs to be careful. He might get hurt or killed by the crazy ones.

Glad to hear that.

Glad he has protection, but I didn’t see that mentioned in the article you cite. Do I need to have my eyes checked?

Thanks, Ramey, glad to hear they have security. Are the threats against them more from the government or from the people?
