Egypt’s highest Islamic institute and its grand Imam called for a bigot reform on religious teaching for tackling the spread of Islamic extremism. Cairo’s University of Al-azhar’s Sheikh Ahmad al-Tayeb has done an historic misreading of the Koran leading intolerant interpretation of the peaceful religion Islam. But then however he wanted all Muslims form all spheres of life to come together and join hands. On the other hand by the way the Egyptian president Abdel Fattah wants the pan-Arab military force to combat terrorism in the name of Islam.   The president at a local news channel said that these extremist forces are rising to an ext level and adequate measures are required for them to get curbed. The reason for this could the huge amount of challenges that the religion faces. But then again he somehow refused to comment on what are the challenges to avoid unnecessarily controversies. He requested all the people with secular and liberal beliefs to also come together and fight such kind of bigotry and terrorism.

The recent incident at a mining film in Johannesburg has left everybody astonished. It is one of the leading gold mining fields of the country. The nearly 486 workers were brought to safety after eleven hours by Sunday evening that is what was said by Harmony Gold in a statement to a local news agency. The President of South Africa Jacob Zuma expressed severe grievances at this and has declared to pay adequate compensation to the family of the workers who had to lose their lives. The reason of the fire that broke out is still uncertain. But however, the CEO of the gold film said that it could be by some lenience in the maintenance work. From the side of the government there will also be a joint investigating taking place to look into the matter in deep. In part will be the department of mineral resources for establishment of the exact cause. Many association and construction workers union has said that this was however not the first time this kind of incidence has taken place and they were also demanding a strict safety audit for their working safety. Certainly these kinds of cases claim a lot of lives and when they do they remain unsolved most of the time. The hope remains that this will be seeing a change.
