How Egypt Fights Terror
(Christian Science Monitor) - The regime has placed modern religious leaders in key institutions, who keep an eye out for terrorists in the making. In addition, Egyptian officials have been promoting a new effort to have convicted terrorists publicly renounce their past. "The state is keen to get religious people to denounce violence," says Dr. Zeinab Bishri, a psychiatrist who praises the efforts. "They want to show how young men have been brainwashed but have woken up to see the light."
