| Egypt: a proposal to unify the subject of Friday’s sermon |
| 2003-08-06 |
| A source close to the Egyptian ministry of al-Awqaf ( Islamic Trusts) said yesterday that the ministry wants to decide the subject of Friday’s prayers sermon on a weekly bases to as to avoid "destructive" speeches. The source which asked to be unanimous said that the "Ministry is studying a proposal to unify the subject of Friday’s sermon," noting that this will be through notifying the Imams of the subject in Friday’s sermon in 71,800 mosques affiliate to the ministry. A source close to the file considered that "this aims at avoiding extremist speeches and sermons or those provoking revolution against the regime." I don’t know what any of this means either... |

| #2 Y'know, there are some good job opportunities for people who actually speak English (American or that other flavor) to make a pass over these "I can shout, don't hear you!" stories on (especially) Arab websites. They are all totally fucked up as information sources. Example above: "unanimous" should've been anonymous - a rather glaring error in a story only 3 sentences long. You guys with the Philosophy degrees, we're still looking for something relevant for ya - don't give up hope! And, leave the whipped cream off my Latte Venti, mmm'kay? |
