Al-Azhar imam cautions of increasing Islamophobia
(MENAFN) On Sunday, the grand imam of Al-Azhar in Egypt, the top seat of Sunni Muslim learning, cautioned of the growing occurrences of Islamophobia, urging legislations to fight it.
During a talk to the UN General Assembly on the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, sheikh Ahmed Al-Tayeb’s word was performed by Osama Abdel Khalek in his place, who is Egypt’s long-lasting delegate to the UN, based on a remark from Al-Azhar.
Tayeb, who additionally runs as the president of the Muslim Council of Elders, highlighted that the decision of making an international day to fight Islamophobia was the “culmination of commendable efforts, led by the group of Muslim countries at the United Nations.”
He called Islamophobia an “irrational and illogical phenomenon, which has become a real threat to global peace.”
“The word ‘Islam’ is derived from the same root as ‘salam (peace)’ in Arabic,” reflecting the religion’s core values of “mercy, love, coexistence, tolerance, and fraternity among all people, regardless of their color, beliefs, languages, or ethnicities,” he stated.
