Grand Imam of Al-Azhar calls for global legislation criminalizing anti-Muslim actions

Cairo (UNA-OIC) – Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb called on the international community to criminalize anti-Muslim actions, following the crisis of the cartoons offending Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), published by a satirical French magazine.

“These offensive cartoons as absurd, slapstick, chaotic, and outright hostile to the Islamic religion and its Holy Prophet,” Sheikh el-Tayeb said in a statement on Wednesday, adding that “it is painful that insulting Islam becomes a means for voter mobilization”.
