Al-Azhar Sheikh's Contradictory Stance: Embracing Other Faiths While Backing Muslim Bloodshed

Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Sheikh of Al-Azhar, received a delegation of leaders from the "Seventh-day Adventist Church"—a Protestant Christian denomination—at his office in Cairo to discuss ways of strengthening mutual cooperation.

Hawzah News Agency- The delegation included Pastor Johnny Nasrallah, Ms. Rania Maher, Pastor Milad Azer, Pastor Silvan Roman, and Pastor Leon al-Maqsoudian.

Turning a blind eye to his support for Saudi Arabia's massacre of Muslims in Yemen, the Sheikh of Al-Azhar said the world today is in greater need than ever of genuine brotherhood—one that upholds human dignity, protects people's rights, and seeks to bring people together rather than divide them.

Ahmed al-Tayeb, whose political record includes tacit endorsement of US and Israeli attacks on Iran as well as Saudi Arabia's assault on Yemen, made contradictory remarks, claiming that Al-Azhar continues to fulfill its global mission of consolidating the values of brotherhood and understanding among all people and striving to spread peace and strengthen closeness among nations.

The "Seventh-day Adventist Church" delegation, for its part, expressed satisfaction with the meeting.

Delegation members stressed they hope the meeting will mark the beginning of more fruitful cooperation and communication with Al-Azhar, in a way that strengthens bridges of mutual understanding and supports the values of peace and coexistence.
