| Abstract | ||||
| The Egyptian President has repeatedly stressed the urgent need of a ‎balanced religious discourse to confront the growing extremism and ‎radical ideology in Egypt and the whole Islamic World. He resorted to ‎time-honored Azhar institution to resolve the conflict between the old ‎and the new, between the traditionalism and the renovation. The ‎President realized that the root of the problem is the outdated ‎religious discourse. This adherence to the past holds Egypt back, and ‎opens the door for fueling extremism and radical movements. He ‎hoped many times that the Islamic clerics of Azhar to find a suitable ‎way to reform their religious speech to confront extremist ideology. ‎He hoped that Azhar institution finds a way of inclusiveness, ‎cooperation, sharing, responsibility, and embracing all efforts to ‎change the misrepresented cliché of Islam. "Renewing religious ‎discourse is needed to protect youth from wrong religious ‎interpretations"( Sisi, Ahram Online , Monday 27 Jan 2020)‎ Reconciliation between past and present is not impossible as it ‎seems. Islam has been through many evolutionary movements that ‎tried to add modernity to its ideology as well as its legislations. ‎Working on the development and modernization, the scholars and ‎thinkers made endless talks and debates. The difference between two ‎waves of traditionalists and modernists went through many ups and ‎downs. Both fought against each other using logic sometimes and ‎violence in other times. Islam as a theocratic authority is not found in ‎reality any more. | ||||
