Egyptian youth clarify that there are many features have attracted them to follow the new preachers, such as their simple language, they don’t depend on threat or intimidation in their speech, their modern discourse which focuses on the realistic issues, which also doesn’t relate between the religion and the latest life only, besides the different available means of communication to contact with them and follow their sermons and shows.
