Pull my other leg, El-Tayyeb. Year after year after year, these deceivers say the same lies, which attests to their effectiveness. Most people will never open a Qur’an and read the passages El-Tayyeb is neglecting to mention, including these: “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, […]
Egypt: Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar refutes claim that Islam allows Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men
The issue of interfaith marriage has arisen again this week among several Islamic leaders, reflecting a tug of war inside Islam and renewed efforts to keep Sharia provisions rigidly in place. Supremacism and expansionism are central to Islam, while mass Muslim migration, globalism and the Internet have had impact not only upon Western countries, but […]
Al-Azhar Grand Imam: ‘We reject calling terrorism Islamic,’ stop using this term, it hurts the feelings of Muslims
El-Tayyeb is focusing on non-Muslims using the term “Islamic terrorism,” but what about when Muslims speak as if Islam encourages warfare and violence against unbelievers? Among the modern-day Muslims (and some from the recent past) who would disagree with El-Tayyeb’s statement are these: “Jihad was a way of life for the Pious Predecessors (Salaf-us-Salih), and […]
Grand Imam of al-Azhar vows to sue those who insult Islam in international courts
The “Abu Dhabi Declaration” that the Pope and El-Tayyeb signed states: “Freedom is a right of every person: each individual enjoys the freedom of belief, thought, expression and action.” But El-Tayyeb didn’t really mean it. Now, what a surprise! Who saw that coming! In reality, anyone who knows that Islamic law mandates death for blasphemy […]
Grand Imam of al-Azhar calls for international legislation criminalizing ‘acts of hate’ against Muslims
Europe, the U.S., and the world at large are eventually going to have to choose: freedom of speech, or submission to Sharia blasphemy laws? Which one they will choose is in doubt at the moment. Submission was galloping forward until Samuel Paty was beheaded. That seems to have galvanized the French government into acting to […]
Al-Azhar grand imam denounces use of term ‘Islamic terrorism,’ says it’s offensive to Islam
Reality: Muhammad said: “I have been made victorious through terror” (Bukhari 4:52.220). The Qur’an says: “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies…” (8:60) “When your Lord was revealing to the angels, ‘I […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: What Does the Pope Know About His “Friend and Dear Brother” El-Tayyeb? (Part Two)
Further, does the Pope agree with El-Tayyeb that Islam has shared 1,400 years of “peaceful coexistence with the Christians”? In no land that Muslims conquered has there been “peaceful coexistence” with Christians (or with any other subjugated non-Muslims), including Islamic Spain, which is so often held up as an inspiring example of “convivencia,” even though […]
Grand Imam of Al-Azhar: Terrorism cannot be a result of Islam, jihad terror results from “unjust policies”
This is the kind of lie that has captured many on the left who are too self-absorbed to pay attention to history: Terrorism results from international unjust policies that lost all compassion toward the weak and the poor, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ahmed el-Tayyeb said during his speech in the Sixth Congress of Leaders of […]
Cairo conference to address “impartial critics of Islam in the West” and present Islam as “religion of love”
The attacks are from all sides: the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Muslim Brotherhood, and needless to say, groups such as al-Qaeda. What do they continue to insist in unison? That the freedom of speech insults Islam. Why? Because Islam is supremacist in nature, and Islamic law stipulates that it must not be criticized or […]
Egypt: Sisi calls for restrictions on verbal divorce, al-Azhar says no
In Islamic law, all a man need do in order to divorce his wife is say to her, “Taaleq,” that is “(You are) divorced.” If he says it once or twice, he can take her back simply if he decides to do so. But if he says it three times, he cannot take her back […]
