He advocates self-criticism and sweeping reforms in the region, including the reform of school curricula. The fundamentalist Wahabi influence has penetrated education in Egypt, where Arab literature, poetry and plays have been replaced with sacred Islamic texts in schools, Heggy said.
Up until the 1960s, Egypt was a truly Mediterranean society, but this has been gradually replaced by an Arab/Bedouin culture.

Egypt’s 1971 Constitution defines Islam as the state religion and Islam as the main source of law.
The Islamisation of education in recent decades is
a major cause of an intolerant mindset that has
developed in Egypt, which the Muslim Brotherhood
has helped create under the guise of aid to local
communities, Heggy argued.
