Beheiry was previously acquitted of another charge of contempt of blasphemy. On June 25, he was acquitted, and in May 2015 another lawsuit, which was filed by al-Azhar against Beheiry was rejected by the State Lawsuit Authority for lack of jurisdiction.
Beheriry hosted “With Islam,” a daily show on private TV channel Al Kahera Wal Nas, providing his interpretation of Islam. His opinions stirred controversy for questioning the credibility of the sources of the Hadith, (Prophet Muhammad’s sayings;) the second basic reference for Islamic teachings after the Quran.
Columnist Fatma Naoot appealed a three-year prison sentence she received Jan. 26 for “insulting religion,” after she was accused of mocking Islamic rite of animal slaughtering on her Facebook page in 2014.
