Terrorism is a political phenomenon, not a religious one: Al-Azhar grand imam
[AlAhram] Grand Imam of al-Azhar Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayyeb said on Wednesday that terrorism is a political phenomenon created by some Western political regimes and then attached to Judaism, Christianity and Islam for political gains and agendas.Uh huh. El-Tayyeb made the comments in a meeting with the representatives of 11 countries and a delegation from the Royal College of Defense Studies in the United Kingdom, where they discussed counterterrorism and radicalism.El-Tayyeb said that al-Azhar — which is the world’s most prominent institution of Sunni Islamic learning — has included in its university’s syllabuses subjects like counterterrorism and counter radicalism. The grand imam also said that al-Azhar established the Egyptian Family House along with the Egyptian Coptic Orthodox Church in 2011 to promote good relations between Moslems and Christians in Egypt.
