May be I love my mom so much that I can't see her flaws and I assume that people misinterpret her because they really don't know her, they're just biased! However, may be I am the biased one, and I can't see or choose not to see that the problem may be in my mom and not the people judging her!
My dear Tamer, I wish we could find solace in the Protestant Reformation, but in my opinion we can't! As in their case they were telling the Catholic church (which restricted the Holy Bible to priests only in the original languages Greek and Hebrew and not allowed it to be read by the average person) that they invented verses, corrupted the teachings by seeking older writings of older priests and church fathers and almost abandoning the Bible teaching totally. Again they abandoned the bible to serve their human greed and sinful nature. The debate was not about misinterpretations of authentic and real existing verses of the bible, on the far hand, the reformation was calling to stick to the bible ONLY and abandon the biased and invented verses of the old fathers writings which were not authentic!
However, in our case in Egypt, we are debating the interpretation of existing approved verses. I support the modern wave of Islam, that combines the principles of mercy and decency with common sense humanistic thinking. But I see this modern school fighting very weakly with the old fundamentalistic school, and the reason in my opinion, that the modern school can not find strong clear verses when debating a specific topic, they usually use vague general verses of mercy and decency, but on the other hand the fundamentalistic school strike hard with strong clear verses relating directly to the topic debated, and then the modern school when finds itself trapped, they debate the interpretation based on humanistic thinking!! Which for a simple average Egyptian watching the debate would 100% be convinced with the fundamentalistic school, because simply, they just feel more authentic and they don't challenge his simple brains and what he has been raised on since he was a kid.
To sum my point clearly, I don't think the problem is in the modern school or the old one, may be the problem is in what we are debating, and because we love it so much, we can not think that the problem is in itself and not the interpretations ... exactly like my "mom". I know that my final statement would sound extremely outrageous, and may be if I said pubically I would be killed immediately. And I did not have the courage to
write my name here, but I guess someone should have said some way or another
