Egypt's top Muslim cleric on Saturday called for an international ban on all forms of attacks against Islam, after a controversial film allegedly triggered the recent wave of violent protests that have erupted in the Middle East and North Africa.
Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayyeb, grand imam of Cairo's Al-Azhar, the highest seat of Sunni Muslim learning, stressed "the need for an international resolution (banning) any attack on Muslim religious symbols," in a statement addressed to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and published by official MENA news agency.
The resolution should "criminalize attacks on Islamic symbols and on those of other religions, after the violence against those who provoked challenges to world peace and international security," Tayyeb said.

"The imam added that it was the UN's responsibility to "protect world peace from any threat or aggression," so that "these dangerous events cannot recur."
He called on "Egyptians in these trying times (to show) wisdom and restraint.""
I just thought of a new thing Sheikh el-Tayyeb can do with a minaret.
If you ban attacks on Christianity, you have to ban the Koran and Islam.
Tempting.
“Top Egyptian Cleric Calls for Global Ban on Islam Attacks”
Oh...I thought the cleric was calling for muslims to stop attacking people around the world.
Silly me...
Excellent! Love it!!
[”criminalize attacks on Islamic symbols and on those of other religions”]
Trying to define attacks on religion would be like trying to decide how much disagreement with the president constitutes racism.
“Top Egyptian Cleric Calls for Global Ban on Islam Attacks”
so Islam can attack anyone anytime for any reason
Just so I have this straight, he is saying that we should ban [movies about mohammed] because of violence against those who provoked challenges to world peace and international security. Let me think about that... No.
Screw all of islam
Screw your filthy, pedophile prophet, piss be upon him
Screw your stinking cesspit of mecca
Screw your stupid mass if toilet paper the koran
And understand I really didn’t want to say “screw” but this is a family site
Do you suppose he really said “nuts”? I can think of a less printable synonym that seems more likely
For a Turban you need a thunder bowl or chamber pot.
Eleutheria, Thank you for posting this interesting article.
January 4, 2011 - Sheik of Al-Azhar Ahmad Al-Tayyeb: “The Pope Is Not Bothered When Millions of Muslims Are Killed”
Following are excerpts from an interview with the Sheik of Al-Azhar Ahmad Al-Tayyeb, which aired on Dream 2 TV on January 4, 2011:
Sheik Ahmad Al-Tayyeb: The division of the Arab world is a goal set [by foreigners]. This wretched scheme has begun to be implemented. Look at what is happening in Iraq, for example, and how they want to divide it into three or four countries. For the sake of this plan...
Interviewer: Sudan as well...
Sheik Ahmad Al-Tayyeb: That was my next point. [...]
The partitioning of Iraq has begun, and so has the partitioning of Sudan, and in two or three days, we will see what will become of it. There are similar efforts in Yemen. Look what things have come to in Egypt. They want Egypt to disintegrate as well. I have recently read that the global world order – or Israel – does not want [Israel] to be a tiny entity, or a minority, in the midst of large entitles in the Arab world. They want there to be only minorities, so that Israel can live peacefully. These things, which I have read, were written by non-Muslims. These things were written by Copts and other Christians. It is well known that if Egypt disintegrates, it will become easy to disintegrate the rest of the Arab world. [...]
The subsequent step will be the disintegration of the Muslims.
Interviewer: How?
Sheik Ahmad Al-Tayyeb: By dividing the Muslims, into Shiites and Sunnis, for example. They have already begun to prepare the Shiite infrastructure. After a while, they will start attacking a mosque here and a mosque there, just like you have seen in...
Interviewer: In Iraq.
Sheik Ahmad Al-Tayyeb: Not in Iraq, in Alexandria.
Interviewer: Ah, I mean the Iraqi scenario...
Sheik Ahmad Al-Tayyeb: The Iraqi scenario will continue. This is the beginning of the implementation of the Iraqi scenario in Egypt. [...]
I do not believe in conspiracy theories. I really don’t. But believe me, there are dark, high-ranking, and powerful hands behind this, because it is inconceivable that the Islamic nation would have reached such a degree of naïveté and stupidity. Impossible! [...]
I said that the Pope’s statement was intervention in Egypt’s domestic affairs. We have read similar statements by the Pope many times in the past... I am trying to choose my words carefully. The Pope is not bothered when millions of Muslims are killed. In Iraq, for example, he was not bothered, and did not call upon the US or the world to intervene immediately, in order to save Muslim blood, even though this should be his mission.
If he is, indeed, a man of religion, a pope, he must prevent the shedding of anybody’s blood. When it had to do with Christian blood – albeit a small number of casualties – the Pope said that Christians are being persecuted in the East, and that they must be protected, and so on. In addition, when the Pope visited Israel, he did not visit Palestine, and did not talk about the blood being shed every day in Palestine. [...]

One has to watch these guys saying the things they do. They’re so firm, knowledgeable, and convincing one could almost believe them. He also wears a Salifist Santa Cap like the blind sheik.
The Pope, of course, is always going on about peace over there etc:

They keep the majority poor and ignorant in order for exploitation and control purposes.
What’s the matter Islam, can’t take the heat? Don’t care for the truth? Got a glass jaw? Insecure in your beliefs? Anytime someone wants artificial protections like this, it is a definite sign of weakness.

Why not try respecting minorities, so that they don’t want to separate. Had the Ottomans not tried to destroy the Jewish Yishuv, we wouldn’t have helped the British disassemble their murderous, oppressive empire. But instead you try annihilating the minorities so there’s nobody to separate, just like the Ottomans did to the Armenians and Greeks. But you found me out, Sheiky-weeky (I can call you Sheiky-weeky, can’t I?) I do want recognition for Christian and other minorities in the Middle East. They are our natural allies, because “the enemy of my enemy” is what, class? That, btw, also includes oppressed Muslim minorities such as Kurds and Baluchis.
