Al-Azhar University

Make use of Islam as an instrument and a tool.

Al-Azhar, make a declaration, ulama of Al-Azhar, against Al-Qaeda.

So this is, and by several reasons, or against ISIS, based on several reasons, mentioned this.

I think now this is consensus among Muslims, both Sunni and Shiite, that they are something, I think, as the tool of Islamophobia.

PhD dissertation was the founding document of Al-Qaeda, and I translate parts of it in the book as well.

Because I trace a lot of the terrorism to Al-Azhar Islamic University in Egypt.

It's portrayed around the world that it is a voice of moderation, and it's a horrific entity.

It's just an atrocious, horrific entity that isn't a crime or something gruesome or something perverse that they do not teach it as a value and as something that they need to do.

They even teach the legitimacy of cannibalizing infidels inside Al-Azhar University.

Can you believe that?

Can you believe

It built its institutions, but it built its institutions into places like Egypt.

So you've got, you've got, I forgot the name, Al-Azhar.

You've got Al-Azhar as an institution, and then you have the Saudi institutions of Mecca and Medina, which are seen as the two holiest mosques in Islam.

And then before that, at one point, you had the Baghdad tradition of theologians.

Some ways were more open-minded, open, visionary, some ways.

But you had these counterpoints, which were then as institutions used as political pawns in the way that they were used by kings in Islam.

But you had these points and centers of political influence.

Guess what? I went to Al-Azhar 15 years ago, maybe 10, 15 years ago, and I was told, The people that couldn't get into physics, maths, and the institutions ended up in al-Azhar.

And they built a lot of the big masjids and buildings.

Even Azhar University was originally built by Ismailis.

And later on, when Sultan Salah ad-Din, you know, defeated the Crusaders and then he defeated the Fatimids.

He instituted Shafi'i Fiqh.

How many scholarly bodies do you know of anywhere? But in the past, people used to build institutions.

Zaytuna, Al-Azhar, Deoband.

And there were star, luminary people in those organizations.

Now, we build Sheikh So-and-So with a profile picture.

Find her.

Find this student who is studying medicine in Al-Azhar University or Islamic University.

Figure out And tell him, look, I can't support you in the whole of your costs or expenses, but I can give you 100 US dollars.

I'm telling you, this is good.

And that was the opening for me to begin learning about women as Quran reciters.

But it started with seeing it in Egypt, seeing it in Al-Azhar.

How long were you in

Al-Azhar? No, Egypt.

Okay, can I tell you something off before I go into the story? Okay, so I want to tell you the full story.

I was sitting in Egypt.

I was supposed to stay there and do the Al-Azhar exams and start.

But that's when my husband proposed.

Regardless, the PLO repeated this claim endlessly.

Today, Al-Azhar University in Cairo renders Meir's statement as, quote, "Every morning I wish to wake up and not find a single Palestinian child alive." In nineteen eighty-nine, Nabil Ramlawi, the PLO's representative with the UN Commission on Human Rights, claimed that the Israelis had forced over four thousand abortions on Palestinian women, sometimes using poison gases.

He also revived an earlier accusation that the Israelis poisoned Palestinian schoolgirls in the West Bank to rend them barren.

The World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention debunked these charges.
