Ahram Gate’s Ahmed El Berry urges the House to speed up the approval of a new proposed law to regulate the issuing of fatwas [religious advisory opinions], arguing that it would be a main pillar in the fight against extremist ideology and a significant step towards a new religious discourse. Not to mention that such a move would put an end to internationally embarrassing fatwas which have plagued us since 2011.
