The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On October 30th, the Deputy Sheikh of Al-Azhar, Muhammad Al-Dhawini, compared homosexuality to terrorism, calling it a “moral perversion” and urging religious authorities to fight against homosexuality. He made these remarks during a “Listening and Speaking” conference held by the Al-Azhar Observatory for Combating Extremism. He stated that homosexuality must be judged based on Sharia law and mustn’t be judged based on “people's inclination to present things as fair or ugly.” He insisted that religious institutions should obey their duty by combating extremism and moral perversions that causes young people to reject the principles and values of Islam and lose their identity. After the conference, the Al-Azhar Observatory for Combating Extremism issued a closing statement, explaining  the issue of homosexuality extensively, arguing that "modern science has proved that homosexuality often stems from psychological, social or physiological problems." Throughout the conference they used the term “Islamic jihad” and the neutral Arabic word for homosexuality, mithliyya, as examples, saying that using these words subverts efforts to address problems and confuses the minds of young people.
