Islamic Research Academy Chief: We Shield Young Minds From ‘Intellectual Viruses’

Dr. Mohamed Abdel Dayem, secretary-general of the Islamic Research Academy, stressed the importance of protecting young people’s minds from what he described as “intellectual viruses.”

Abdel Dayem said a key outcome of the “Egypt 2026” forum was the development of practical solutions to address contemporary challenges involving ideas and values.

He highlighted the forum’s focus on tackling those challenges directly, presenting its practical approach as one of its most significant results.

His remarks linked the protection of young minds with the broader task of responding to the intellectual and moral challenges facing society today.
