Journalist Ibrahim Issa said that the June 30 revolution represented a major moment of salvation, saving Egypt from what he called “religious rule,” but it did not restore the health of the civil and national state, according to him.

He added, during his program “Cairo Talk” on the “Cairo and the People” screen, that the public’s comments on the congratulations of the official page of the Al-Ahly Coptic Club on the Day of Resurrection make it clear that society has not been saved from what he said was arrogance, extremism, and intellectual backwardness, as he put it.

He pointed out that the political Islam movement is responsible for the state of mental pollution – as he put it – which has turned Egyptians into fanatics and extremists who have no connection to the modern civil state and no connection to the goals of Islam and religion, as he said.

He believed that “these ideas express fanaticism, violence, hatred, aggression, backwardness, and belief in any nonsense, but what is important is that they satisfy the instincts of violence, arrogance, and religious hypocrisy,” as he put it.

He considered this matter to be the greatest and most important danger, and said that the economy cannot take a step forward as long as society is exposed to rifts.
