People accused the Muslim Brotherhood of hijacking the country-and destroying their vision of a cosmopolitan, tolerant Egypt. The clash between art and extremism culminated in the spring with a sit-in against the appointment of an Islamist culture minister. One Salafi sheikh has called for the destruction of Egyptian antiquities several have accused famous actresses of promoting immorality. Clerics have traditionally gained followers through their knowledge of the Koran, but the new televangelists attracted people with their accessibility, charisma, or religious fervor. Television preachers started appearing in Egypt a decade ago, helped by a rising conservatism and the proliferation of private satellite channels. “It feels like this was the only chance for artists and creators and dramatists to voice their opinions.”

“This year it seems that TV producers have decided to gang up on not just the Brotherhood but all forms of political Islam,” Joseph Fahim, a Cairo-based film critic, told me. These programs were filmed when Morsi still held power, and they appear to be the cultural establishment’s collective protests against extremism. Conservative sheikhs are popping up in supernatural thrillers (“Neeran Sadeeqa,” or “Friendly Fire”) and police procedurals (“Moget Harra,” or “Heat Wave”). “Bedoun Zekr Asmaa” (“Without Mentioning Names”) tells the story of Islamist groups recruiting members in poor neighborhoods during the nineteen-eighties. Moltaheen-“people with beards”-are all over TV this Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting, which Egyptians mark by staying up through the night and watching multi-episode soap operas.
“I’ll watch the first ten episodes,” he said, “then decide if I’ll continue.” Like the Egyptian electorate-which voted Mohamed Morsi into office a year ago but offered broad support when the military removed him from power-he does not have unlimited patience.

“I like this show because it tells you a lot about the thinking of the Islamists,” Remon Amin, a stockbroker who hates the Brotherhood and hasn’t followed any other TV series in years, told me. But the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization that was underground for almost sixty years and governed the country for just one, still fascinates people, even those who despise it. Its popularity may seem strange, since millions of Egyptians recently took to the streets to depose their conservative Islamist President.
#Bedoun zekr asmaa serial
The most talked-about television serial in Egypt this Ramadan season may be “Al-Da’iea” (“The Preacher”), the story of a conservative Islamist sheikh whose views draw him closer to the fundamentalist camp even as they alienate his family. Overall, this is a really good show, the creators made a lovely drama that Egyptian market doesn't see often.“My God, he’s as beautiful as the moon!” says a veiled camerawoman. And if they try to, they make it even worse. Their love is not showing anywhere, they hide more than they open up to each other, never showing thier true selves to each other. Instead, Taghreed and Ahmed are a misfortunate case of distasteful romantic talk. A romantic scene is supposed to make the audience feel this heartwarming pleasurable sensation that the couple are feeling. Also, the script gets a little icky around romantic scenes, like the ones between Taghreed and Ahmed. These in particular are created as comically evil villains with no obvious grounds to thier behavior. With that said, I would've loved to see more depth to charachters like Me'timid, sheikh Shafiee' and Nagwa Kamal. Main characters have so many layers and genuine motives that goes deeper than any show, at least in this decade. Every aspect holds up pretty well till the finale. From the very first minutes of the show, you could sense the good craftsmanship behind it.
