Sadat moves to seize mosques and license preachers
Egypt announced a plan to control about 40 000 mosques and license Muslim preachers aiming to curb political opposition linked to religious tensions after clashes between Islamic militants and Coptic Christians. The Wakf minister said 12.5 million dollars funds the project and 65 mosques linked to militant groups will be included. Police have detained over 1 500 people in a roundup of those accused of inciting communal strife.
