In an interview with Mursi, filmed eight years ago, the then MP said that dance “violates Shariah (Islamic) law.”

Mursi also belittled an Egyptian dance school, saying: “What is this school? What is its role? What are its goals?”

Aziz has covered the window with metal sheets to avoid angering conservative Cairo residents.
