I wrote this in Arabic and shall write here too: critique of clerics, priests, and rabbis is a national duty and obligation. Remember that the clerics of Al-Azhar were partners with Sadat in his humiliating deal with Israel. And the Lebanese Shi`ite cleric, Hasan Mushaymish, has been convicted of spying for Israel. More than that: Karl Marx (may Engels be pleased with him) said in his introduction to A Contribution to Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right that "and the criticism of religion is the prerequisite of all criticism".
