| Egypt's Primo Islamic Center bans two scholarly books | |
| 2004-08-19 | |
| EFL Egypt's highest religious authority has ordered the banning and confiscation of two books written by U.S. and Egyptian authors on grounds they violated Islamic principles and harmed Islam's image, a senior cleric and newspaper reports said Wednesday.
[and several Rantburgians have hopes that this place will facilitate a more progressive Islam] ordered the ban against the "Studies of Muslim Apocalyptic," by U.S. writer David Cook, 37, and "Responsibility for the Failure of the Islamic State," by Egyptian author Gamal al-Banna. Turns out one of the books could be read to imply that the Koran took some thoughts from Judaism and Christianity. The other book was straight forward history but the title annoyed the Al Azhar committee | |
