He added,” Here I ask senior Sunni and Shia leaders to attend a joint meeting in Al Azhar and issue a fatwa banning Muslim killing among different Islamic denominations so that puts an end to the massacre in the region and the world of Islam is saved from intrigues hatched by enemies.”
Top Egyptian figure noted,” We should not value plotters among Shia and Sunni Muslims because unfortunately these people are media activists and work according to a certain agenda which targets Muslim unity while we demand proximity among all Muslims from different Islamic schools of thought.”
