Al Jazeera incites hate against the late Nawal El-Saadawi in Arabic, but promotes her as an ‘icon’ in English

LONDON: Al Jazeera’s Arabic- and English-language Twitter accounts tell two very different stories about the passing of Egyptian women’s rights trailblazer Nawal El-Saadawi.
“She attacked religions and demanded the legalization of prostitution and questioned the Qur’an,” read a tweet by Al Jazeera Arabic’s Egyptian Twitter account, which included a fiery video.
“Death takes controversial novelist Nawal El-Saadawi after 90 years of ideas contrary to the culture of society.”
