Egypt’s Mufti participates in conference to support Chinese-Arab dialogue

Mufti's participation comes in the framework of the efforts exerted by Egypt’s Islamic institution to eliminate extremism and to fight terrorism.

Allam said, in a press statement, that international cooperation and exchange of experience in the fight against terrorism became urgent need, as the threat posed by extremist groups is not limited to specific country, while extended to all countries of the world.

He stressed the need for cooperation between the world’s countries and international organization to eliminate extremism.

The participation of Egypt's mufti in the conference is not the first of its kind, as Egypt’s Al-Azhar plays a major role to combat terrorism not only in Egypt but also on the international level. Al-Azhar’s Grand Imam Ahmed Al-Tayeb sent delegations to many countries to promote moderation and to confront the extremist ideas.

Al-Azhar dedicated a multi-language observatory to refute the extremist edicts and to promote moderate ideas. It also signed a protocol with Vatican to support cooperation between Al-Azhar and Catholic Church to entrench the concept of dialogue between different civilization.
