If Mohamed Ali Knew

If Mohamed Ali had known what was going to happen to his mosque which includes his tomb , may be he would have had a second thought when that delegation of Egyptians came to his house in Egypt asking him to lead the country.
The Mohamd Ali Mosque as you may know is from the most beautiful and fantastic Mosques in Cairo which is built on the famous Turkish style , it is like our own Egyptian Blue Mosque. Its domes are more than just incredible.



I have found by accident that the grand magnificent hall at the Mosque has been turned to wedding ceremonies hall !! Yes wedding ceremonies hall where Muslim families hold their wedding there in the morning.
While Non Muslim women from tourists respect our Mosques and cover themselves , you will be surprised to find that in these wedding ceremonies Muslim women do not cover their heads or even take off their shoes but rather wear socks !! Despite being unveiled ,I am so disturbed from this disrespect to the Mosques , this is not a wedding ceremony hall for God sake !!
Here are photos from singer and businessman Mohamed Tharwat's daughter wedding ceremony.

With the Mufti
Yes this is the grand Mufti and do not ask if he did not notice that women do not cover themselves inside a Mosque , it is still a Mosque officially !!I am not fanatic but from from religious view and from a nationalist view I feel that this is an insult. 
Mohamed Ali tomb
I will not speak about the religious leadership in this country because as you can see they approve this action from the photo of the Mufti posted above but Where is Dr. Zahi Hawas ?? This is a huge insult to our history not to mention to the founder of modern Egypt whose was buried there.Of course I should not be surprised after all because it seems the royal palaces have been in to wedding halls !!
