Al-Azhar Al-Sharif condemns destructing the only mosque for Sunnis in "Pounak", Tehran last Wednesday, and expresses its total rejection for this action that contradicts principles of religion, morals and values of civilization, stressing that such actions spread the spirit of disunity and fuels discords and sectarian divisions among followers of the same faith. Al-Azhar stresses that such actions breed extremist ideas and provide a justification for violence and terrorism.
In this context, Al-Azhar demands the Iranian authorities to clarify the truth of this incident which aroused resentment of Muslims in the East and the West.
