| Egyptian court bans use of mosques for political purposes |
| 2021-09-26 |
Here’s hoping that works, guys. Seriously. [AlAhram] Egypt's Supreme Administrative Court issued on Saturday a final verdict banning the use of mosques for political purposes and upholding the state's right to supervising them.The ruling upheld a previous decision by the minister of Awqaf to place 42 mosques in Beheira governorate under the ministry's supervision, stating that the government should control the mosques by all legal means. This comes as part of the country’s efforts to control the religious discourse and teaching methods within worship houses.

| #2 Islam is a political movement using religious trappings to propagate. The whole point of mosques is to provide "party headquarters". Good luck. |
