CAIRO — The Arabic hashtag “Stop_Mabrouk_Attia” trended in Egypt over the past few days, as social media users demanded that the Islamic preacher who justified violence against women, be prevented from appearing in the media.
Al-Azhar University professor Mabrouk Attia sparked widespread controversy over comments he made Oct. 21 during the “Happening in Egypt” program on MBC Masr channel to a woman who was beaten and tortured by her husband.
