Egyptian artist challenges extremism in Algeria

Egyptian artist Adel Emam said yesterday that he has decided to go to Algeria in September to participate in standing by the Algerian people in confronting extremism. Eman plans showings of his drama "The Chief" for one week in Algeria.

The comedian confirmed that he does not fear being killed after the murder of Algerian singer Lounes Matoub last Thursday. Eman said, "God is the best protector and I accept the challenge for every unjust person."
