Al-Azhar lawsuit against TV presenter Islam El-Beheiry postponed
The lawsuit was filed in 2015 accusing the TV presenter of "deliberately aiming to make people question their beliefs"
Daily News Egypt Published in Daily News Egypt on 01 - 01 - 2017

The Administrative Court postponed on Sunday a lawsuit filed by Al-Azhar against researcher and TV presenter Islam El-Beheiry, according to the state-run newspaper Al-Ahram. The court will adjourn on 22 January to decide whether or not to ban El-Beheiry from appearing on TV.
The lawsuit was filed in 2015 and accuses the TV presenter of "deliberately aiming to make people question their beliefs". Al-Azhar demanded the courts prevent the broadcasting of El-Beheiry's show "With Islam", which aired on the privately-owned TV channel Al Qahera Wel Nas.
El-Beheiry hosted a programme that is critical of certain aspects of Salafi teachings and some of their preachers. In many of his episodes, El-Beheiry showed clips from famous and respected Salafi preachers, followed by criticism of their religious arguments.
El-Beheiry was released from prison last month by a presidential pardon after serving a one-year prison sentence on charges of contempt of religion, after questioning the authenticity of some Sunni religious texts.
His programme was suspended after several warnings from Al-Azhar and officials at the state-controlled Media Production City.
Following his release, El-Beheiry stressed that he will continue his work by voicing his ideas on his show, even if it has to be aired on another channel.
