(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Egyptian grand Mufti proposes the launch of Egyptian Family Home Commission in a move to handle the common issues of the Muslim and Christians.

Ahmad al-Tayyeb, Egyptian Mufti announced that a group of Islamic and Christian clerics are to gather to form a committee aiming at verifying and solving the concerns of the Muslims and Christians and also handling the differences between the followers of the religions.

Calling the commission a joint voice of Al-azhar and Church, Ahmad al-Tayyeb said that the group's aim is to focus on tolerance of Islam and Christianity.

The measure follows a suicide bombing outside a church in Alexandria that killed 21 people injuring nearly 100.
