I really enjoy your notes on egypt ❤️ I think people from western countries have a completely wrong view of arab countries, they think that they have always been extremist/conservatives when it's not true (just look at the old egyptian films from the 60s and 70s). the waves of conservatism are quite recent, I think there were a lot of women who put on the veil by watching preachers on TV like amr khaled. but on a political level, past dicators were against extremism, for example in my country Tunisia people might end up in prison if they went to pray in a mosque too frequently. after the 'revolution' of 2011 things became very different and the extremists ended up in power.
