Some press reports have said that the new Shaykh of Al-Azhar (who is a mere functionary of the ruling party of Egypt and is a member of the Jamal Mubarak gang) has earned his PhD from the Sorbonne in Paris. That is not true. He earned his PhD from Al-Azhar itself, although he says he spent "a few months" in Paris. I don't know what he did there but Paris is an interesting place.
