Egypt’s Ministry of Endowments recently announced a new record: 1,200 new mosques were opened in the year 2022.
Moreover, in the two years between September 2020 and September 2022, a total of 3,116 mosques were opened (2,712 new; 404 renovated).
Since Abdel Fateh al-Sisi became president in 2014, the total number of mosques to be opened, repaired, or replaced — costing Egypt more than ten billion pounds — is 9,600.
(One can almost hear the “Allahu akbars!”)…
