Top Sunni Muslim cleric condemns ‘hateful’ Paris attacks
The head of Sunni Islam’s leading seat of learning, Cairo’s Al-Azhar, condemns the “hateful” attacks in Paris and urges global unity against extremism.
“We denounce this hateful incident,” Ahmed al-Tayyeb says in comments broadcast by Egyptian state television. “The time has come for the world to unite to confront this monster.
“Such acts are contrary to all religious, humanitarian and civilised principles,” Tayyeb says at the opening of the conference in the southern city of Luxor focused on combating “extremist thought”.
