Egypt university professor suspended for ‘insulting the Qur’an’ [Middle East Monitor]

 The flava:

Egypt’s minister of higher education has suspended a university professor following claims that he insulted the Qur’an.

His detention follows the circulation of a video online which captured a debate between Dr Mohamed Mahdaly, a professor of sociology in Alexandria, and several students.

The argument is around the Qur’an’s teachings over incest and common law marriage. Mahdaly was reportedly arguing in favour of mothers marrying their sons when challenged with a Qu’ranic verse outlawing such practises he responded: “I don’t give a f**k about that [Qu’ranic] verse.”
