El-Sisi stresses importance of reforming religious discourse to fight terrorism
2017-09-21
Unfortunately, the scholars of Al Azhar are adamantly uninterested in such changes.
[AlAhram] Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi has renewed calls for reforming Islamic discourse, saying it is a key element in defeating terrorism.

"By speaking of renewing religious discourse, we look to promote the correct understanding of [Islam] and filter out false ideology and misconceptions," El-Sisi said in an interview with Fox News in New York on Wednesday.

The Egyptian president reiterated the need for a comprehensive strategy that is not confined to military and security confrontation, to combat holy warrior ideology and terrorist organizations around the world.

"The international community needs to stand firm against [extremism] with a comprehensive strategy that is not confined to military security confrontation, but which involves other aspects: economic, social and cultural," El-Sisi said.
