Intellectual war led by Al-Azhar no less fierce than state-led war to eliminate terrorism, the Grand Imam to war veterans
Al-Azhar Grand Imam, Prof. Ahmad At-Tayyeb, received today, Thursday, a group of war veterans.
The Grand Imam said that the 6th of October War will continue to remind the Egyptians of the meanings of pride and dignity, and it will remain a witness to Egypt’s greatness, strength and steadfastness in the face of tyrants and colonizers. He praised the valor of the leaders, officers and soldiers of the armed forces, who set the most wonderful examples of heroism and sacrifice to liberate their homeland and restore its dignity.
His Eminence added that the scholars of Al-Azhar Ash-Sharif contributed with full force to the glorious October War, through standing side by side with our brave soldiers.
The war veterans, for their part, expressed their pride in the personality of the Grand Imam and their great appreciation for Al-Azhar’s role in supporting state institutions, particularly the armed forces. They stressed that the intellectual war led by Al-Azhar Ash-Sharif to combat extremist and terrorist ideology is no less fierce than the war led by the Egyptian state to eliminate terrorism.
