Nasr was known for being the Imam of Tahrir Square Friday prayers during the Egyptian Revolution. He rose to popularity after inspiring the start of what is popularly referred to as ‘The Islamic Enlightenment Movement’. Nasr, who is a graduate of Al-Azhar, is well known for his criticism of the curriculum currently taught by Al-Azhar and their refusal to heed President Sisi’s call for reforming the way sheikhs teach religion in Egypt. He claimed that the amputation of hands is not a valid Islamic punishment. Nasr may have been arrested and sentenced to prison for his views. | http://bit.ly/2zXgH8L and https://bit.ly/2zFwQiL | 0100A1889 | ||||||||||
