Professor of Islamic Sharia at Al-Azhar University, Ahmad Karima, considered that “Wahhabi Salafism is more dangerous to Egypt and Islam than the troupe of “Ikhwan”.”
Karima, in a symposium on Tuesday, at the Library of Egypt in Damanhour, attributed that to “the Ikhwan troupe works only in politics, while Salafism (i.e. Wahhabism) has changed the curriculum of religion, after reducing it to its external appearance.”
Karima said – according to what the newspaper “Al-Shorouk” reported – that “the Salafists and the troupe of Ikhwan succeeded in penetrating the institutions of Al-Azhar and the Endowments through the presence of leaders for them,” praising Al-Azhar Sheikh Ahmed Al-Tayeb; because “he faced extremism and terrorism, and during his reign, these issues declined.”
He attacked the role of the Ministry of Culture and the censorship of publications, and said: “There has been a book for 25 years called Fatwas of the Holy Land that attacks the Egyptian army.”
Karima believed that the “ISIS” is ideologically present in the Dakahlia Governorate through 7 publications calling for the “ISIS” ideology in the absence of regulatory agencies.
