Condemning terrorism
The grand sheikh of Egypt's Al-Azhar, Sunni Islam's
most respected seat of learning, says a historical misreading of the Quran and the life of the
Prophet Muhammad have led to extremism among Muslims.
Speaking at the opening of a conference titled
"Islam and the fight against terrorism," Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb
condemned terrorism and called for religious curricula to be reformed to
emphasize greater tolerance. He also warned of a conspiracy to "divide and
conquer" Muslims that he said is being carried out by colonialists and
Zionists.
