Ahmed Hussein Al-Harqan (born 10 December 1982) is an Egyptian atheist human rights activist. Ahmed Harqan grew up in a Muslim family oriented toward the Salafi movement in Islam. He received religious education from the Islamic scholar Ahmed Al-Burhami. He spent a large part of his youth as an ultra-conservative Salafist and "Muslim fundamentalist". In 2010 Harqan abandoned Islam after a long period of doubt about his religious practices and beliefs. The transformation took its toll on Harqan and led him to burn all his religious certificates and start his education from scratch. Since then Harqan has been among the few non-believers in Egypt, who has dared to speak openly about being atheist and Harqan has appeared on several Egyptian talk shows to speak about non-religious rights. In a TV-show on the channel ''Al-Kahera Wal-Nas'' on October 21, 2014, Harqan explained why he had become an atheist and said that Islam is a "harsh religion," which was being implemented by ISIS and Boko Haram. They are doing "what the Prophet Muhammad and his companions did," said Harqan. The TV-show was ''Taht al Koubry'' (under the bridge) with Tony Khalife 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Egyptian Human Rights Activist Ahmad Harqan: ISIS Is Doing what the Prophet Muhammad Did )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=حلقة (القاهرة والناس) عن الملحدين - YouTube )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=This is what happened to Ahmed, this is what’s happening in Egypt - - Amine Boukhliq's Blog - مدونة امين بوخليق - )〕 ==Assassination attempt and arrest== According to media reports, Harqan and his pregnant wife, Nada Mandour (Saly) Harqan, survived an assassination attempt 4 days later - in the evening of October 25, 2014. Harqan managed to flee with his wife after having some injuries and went to the ''Alhanafie–Alajlany'' police station to report the incident along with their friend Karim Jimy. Instead of taking action to help Harqan and his wife, the police officers further assaulted them and they were imprisoned charged with blasphemy and "defamation of religion" under article 98 in the Egyptian penal code for asking "What has ISIS done that Muhammad did not do?” on a popular Egyptian television talk show. Harqan's lawyer was humiliated and kicked out of the police station.〔 Eventually Ahmad and Saly Harqan, and their friend Kareem Jimy were released and charges against them were dropped. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ahmed Harqan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
