Egyptian cleric Sheikh Yussef Al Badri has issued a fatwa urging Muslims to boycott the businesses of billionaire Naguib Sawiris following comments the tycoon made about the tendency of women in the North African country to wear the Hijab, reported the AFP. Last month Sawiris, a Coptic Christian, said 'I have the impression of being in Iran. I feel like a foreigner'. Sawiris is the Chairman and CEO of Orascom Telecom.
