'Al Quran Al Kareem' radio was circulated in thousands of tweets and posts during the last two days on social networking sites (Twitter and Facebook.)
This came after the spread of the stand up comedy video by a satirical actor named Muhammad Ashraf. He mocked the performance of some of the broadcasters of Al Quran Al Kareem radio.
Although this video was posted more than 8 months ago on YouTube, it was posted during the last two days on Facebook. Although it disappeared from YouTube, it was posted more than once on other social media sites.
Some tweeterers are among those who reject criticizing the broadcasters' performance and while others support the ridicule of the performance of broadcasters.
The hashtag “# Support_Al Quran_Al_Kareem_radio” topped the most popular Twitter hashtags in Egypt. More than 13000 tweets were talking about it.
The tweeterers were pided between those who stood next to Ashraf as being just a comedian who did not attack the radio but only criticized the radio performance, and those who considered this video an offense.
In successive repercussions and a huge escalation that occurs within a few hours, Ashraf can be held accountable on many charges, the most important of which is contempt for religions.
Although the video did not ridicule sheikhs or dealt with specific broadcasters but rather commented on the style of some of them. Public opinion tends to consider what happened an attack against Islam itself and not against a group of broadcasters on an Egyptian channel.

National Media Authority: Moral Decay
Hussein Zain, Chairman of the National Media Authority, directed the authority's legal affairs to take all legal measures against Ashraf, the owner of the video of mocking Al Quran Al Kareem radio.
He added that they are contacting the concerned authorities and coordinate with them to hold that person accountable for his mistake. Al Quran Al Kareem radio has the sanctity, appreciation, respect, and special place in the hearts of the Egyptian and Arab listeners.
He pointed out that the National Media Authority will not be lenient until this person receives the punishment he deserves for his mockery of the media outlet which we are all proud of. It presents distinct and purposeful religious programs that established the values and principles of the true and central Islamic religion.
In its statement, the National Media Authority warned that any party or person who takes such an unacceptable and irresponsible approach will be held accountable.
