If this is real, we love the dean of Al Azhar’s faculty of dentistry: Abanoub Guirguis Naeem has reportedly become the first Egyptian Christian to be accepted as a resident at Al Azhar University, according to a report by Egypt Independent. Despite the university spokesman’s best effort to muddy the waters by distinguishing between a resident and a student at the university, Faculty of Dentistry Dean Khalid Seddiq told the newspaper, “I signed and approved his papers, just like the rest of his colleagues. I did not care if he is a Christian or a Muslim. What is really important to me is to know if he is an Egyptian student of good academic standing or not.”
