It was a show of shame recently when two guests on Egyptian television battled and hurled abuses at each other, over Islamic religious law.
The two imams, Sheikh
Mustafa Rashed and Nabih Al-Wahsh physically attacked each other with a studio
chair and shoe. The brawl was transmitted live on Egypt’s LTC TV after the duo
had some disagreement over the use of headscarves.
Sheikh
Mustafa is a Muslim legal expert while Nabih Al-Wahsh is an Egyptian lawyer.
Sheikh got Al-Wahsh visibly angry after he said the headscarf was a cultural
tradition and not a religious duty. “You said you were the Mufti of Australia
and a scholar in Sydney, but there’s not even a mosque in Sydney,” Al-Wahsh
tackled Sheik. Al-Wahsh continued, saying that Al-Azhar, a prestigious Cairo
university, had issued a statement saying that Rashed was not a scholar. To
reply Al-Wahsh, Rashed said Al-Wahsh needs to go to a mental hospital. “You
belong in a mental hospital,” he shouted.
However,
when the attack became physical, the show’s host cuts off the transmission and
went on a break. He later returned to air the “freestyle wrestling” match that
had taken place on the show’s set while the transmission was off. Rashed was
seen in the video hurling a studio chair at Al-Wahsh’s head, while Al-Wahsh
removed a shoe, and struck Rashed repeatedly. Cameramen rushed to the set to
separate the two men, whose argument had broken a glass table and trashed the
set. “I did not see this coming. I’ve been working in media for over 20 years,
and I’ve never seen a dialogue between two guests deteriorate to the point of
physical violence. I could never have imagined that such a thing could happen
on my show. Words were said that should never have been uttered,” he said. the
show’s host Mohamed Al-Ghiety said.See the video below by follwing the link
