1994 Attack on Nobel Laurate 1988 Naguib Mahfouz

"Children of Gebelawi", written by Nobel Laurate 1988 Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz (1911-2006 - نجيب محفوظ), was controversial because it reimagined religious figures and narratives in a way that many found provocative. Islamic fundamentalists accused Mahfouz of blasphemy, leading to a fatwa and the novel being banned in Egypt for many years. 

In 1994, Mahfouz survived an assassination attempt by Islamic extremists angered by "Children of Gebelawi." He was severely injured but remained a steadfast advocate for free expression and intellectual freedom until his death in 2006.

I started writing when I was a little boy. Maybe it’s because I was reading a lot of books I admired, and thought that I would like to write something like that someday. Also, my love for good writing pushed me.
