To make this verdict irreversible, two other decrees were promulgated: that of declaring the Koran "uncreated word of Allah", therefore immutable; and that of prohibiting any further effort of interpretation by declaring "the door of the ijtihad [effort of reflection] finally closed". The sanctification of these decisions has fossilized Muslim thought and helped keep Islamic countries in a state of backwardness and chronic stagnation.

I accuse Islam of being locked in a dogmatism that he can not get out of. Taken to his own trap of resentment, he makes all mankind responsible for his own failures in a business of victimization, and self-justification.

I accuse the Azhar, supposed to embody moderate Islam, to feed a spirit of fanaticism, intolerance and hatred among millions of students and imams from all over the world to learn from its institutions. It thus becomes one of the main sources of terrorism in the world.

I accuse Azhar of its systematic refusal to reform its curricula and textbooks. Despite the repeated demands of Egyptian President al-Sisi to remove all hate speech, violence and discrimination, nothing has yet been done.
