Parliament calls on endowments min. to discuss strategy

CAIRO –7 November 2017: Parliament’s Youth and Sports Committee recommended on Tuesday motioning the minister of endowments to discuss the ministry’s strategy regarding overhauling the youth-oriented religious discourse.

Along with the minister of endowments, the parliament also requested the presence of the minister of youth and sports to look into possibilities of the two ministries’ teaming up, taking advantage of the youth centers to address and clarify the religious issues of interest to young people.

During the World Youth Forum’s session, “The Diversity of Cultures and Civilizations...Clash or Integration,” President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi stressed that sense of superiority always breeds conflicts, no matter where that sense of pride comes from.

President Sisi has consistently reiterated in his speeches the significance of revolutionizing religious discourse, following a spate of deadly attacks that hit Egypt in the past few years.
