Egyptian youth clarify that there are many features have attracted them to follow the new preachers, such as their simple language, they don’t depend on threat or intimidation in their speech, their modern discourse which focuses on the realistic issues, which also doesn’t relate between the religion and the latest life only, besides the different available means of communication to contact with them and follow their sermons and shows.
There are main privileges in their religious speech, as it is cleared by the youth, that they depend mainly on simplified explanation for the holy Qur’an and on the actions of prophet Mohamad (PBUH) and the history of attractive and successful Islamic characters, Egyptian youth see that this kind of speech is appropriate for all Muslims.
