Egypt’s former Culture Minister, Gaber Asfour, has voiced his support in removing the religious identity section from the country’s national identification cards. Responding to a question on a public opinion program, Asfour stated, “We are not in the time of the Taliban.” Asfour, a professor at Cairo University since 1966, is considered an influential author in Egypt. The 77-year-old has published multiple books criticizing religious fanaticism. In a recent interview, he continued to urge Egyptians to “look outside.” He cited, as an example, that international forms of identification like passports do not specify if you are a Muslim Egyptian or a Christian Egyptian, adding, “no one abroad (will) ask you.” The debate began when photos of a national ID and a passport with no section for religion were circulated online.
