El-Khisht links extremism to education rather than poverty

Dr. Mohamed Osman Al-Khasteh, former President of Cairo University and a member of the Supreme Scientific Council at Mohamed Bin Zayed University, stated that the traditional education system is responsible for shaping closed-minded attitudes that adopt extremism. He emphasized that philosophy is based on critique and discerning thinking and is free from models of extremism. He explained that extremists tend to have a fatalistic attitude and reject others, and that the educational and cultural environment contributes to this. He confirmed that the issue is not solely social frustration or poverty. Al-Khasteh also denied the existence of scientific miracles in the Quran, calling for an understanding of religious texts from a modern scientific perspective. He proposed the concept of "Post-secularism and Post-orthodoxy" to address global shared challenges, stressing the importance of constitutional coexistence and religious pluralism. Additionally, he referred to his new encyclopedia, "Encyclopedia of World Religions," which includes more than three thousand religions, aiming to combat ignorance and promote mutual understanding among faiths.
