News | Preacher's Moses story controversial in Egypt - 0 views

  • The famous preacher prepared the story earlier this year and posted it on his website in May with questions that he asked visitors to respond to. "Think about these questions," he wrote on the website. "You will not find their answers in any book. They just need brains and imagination." Among the questions posted were those asking: Why did the Pharaoh order male Jews to be killed? What do you think was Moses’ political goal? Was it saving the Israelites or talking the Pharaoh into believing in God? Why didn't Moses call upon Egyptians to join his faith? The responses were remarkable because the majority linked the story of Moses to the current political situation in Egypt and viewed it as an incentive to rebel against repressive leaders.
  • The Moses story is believed to be one of the main reasons why Khaled was rumored to have been forced to leave Egypt in June. The website discussion was not welcome by state officials, unnamed security sources told Al Arabiya. A report by a state security officer about Khaled alleged the story was a means of arousing sympathy for Jews as well as attacking the Egyptian government.
  • Fathi pointed out that Khaled uses the latest technology in his program and has thus initiated a significant change on religious shows and stated that the program has received some of the highest viewer rates.
