The Importance Of State Youth Policy In The Fight Against Religious Extremism (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE ARAB REPUBLIC OF EGYPT)

Abstract

Although the roots of such phenomena as extremism, radicalism, and terrorism under the guise of religion go back a long way, they have never posed such a threat to social stability and development as they do today. The widespread spread of religious extremism and radicalism in different parts of the world poses a great threat to the peace of countries and the security of regions. Preventing such threats, eliminating the factors that fuel them, and combating them have become a priority for every country.

Studying foreign experience in combating religious extremism, radicalism, and terrorism, absorbing its instructive aspects, and putting them into practice is equally necessary and beneficial for all existing states. In this sense, it is important to study the long-term experience of Egypt, which was one of the first in the Arab-Islamic world to encounter the problem of religious extremism and terrorism. This article analyzes the importance of state youth policy in combating religious extremism using the example of the Arab Republic of Egypt.
