Salafis are not Sunnis: Grand Imam of al-Azhar


In an Islamic conference held in Grozny, the Chechen capital, Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of al-Azhar University in Egypt has said Salafis are not Sunni Muslims.

Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb
The conference held on August 17-25 was attended by a large number of Muslim scholars from all over the world to detach or disassociate themselves and Sunni Islam from the terrorist ISIS that have been causing extreme destruction in the Arab countries.

Many well-known scholars in the Muslim world hold the opinion that takfiri terrorists groups like ISIL or ISIS who continues to fight under the banner of Salafism has nothing to do with Sunni Islam.

The remarks by the Grand Imam of al-Azhar outraged the pro-government religious clerics and paid preachers in Saudi Arabia who issued a statement saying it was an attempt to undermine the Wahhabism practiced in Saudi Arabia.


The Wahhabi ideology which slowly evolved into Salafism is the root cause of the CIA-Mossad engineered bogus jihad wreaking havoc in the Middle East and beyond.
