Al-Azhar Al-Sharif condemns destructing the only mosque for Sunnis in "Pounak", Tehran last Wednesday, as reported by News Agencies. Al-Azhar totally rejects 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 as the extremist groups take them as a justification for their crimes, which are against religions and traditions.
In this regard, Al-Azhar demands the Iranian authorities to clarify the reality on this issue which aroused resentment of Muslims in East and West.
