Is Egypt’s al-Azhar moving to ‘secularize’ its non-theological schools? By admitting a Christian student for the first time in its history, Al Azhar University looks like it has taken its “first step towards a long-awaited reform” that would see it open its non-theological school to non-Muslims, Sonia Farid says on Al Arabiya. The story of Abanoub Girgis Naeim, the first Christian resident at Al Azhar University's School of Dentistry in Asyut, might have provided the institution with “ an opportunity to refute claims of its intolerance” and silence critics who accuse “Al Azhar of inciting violence against Christians through material taught to its students.”
