Al Azhar University Joins Anti-Shia Groups

Al Azhar University, the most important institute of Egypt, expelled one of its well-known Quran Reciters. Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, the head of Egypt’s Al-Azhar University expelled Farajol Lah Shadhli” فرج الله الشاذلی” from this university because he has recited Call to Prayer in Iraq according to Shia Islam. El-Tayeb claimed “Al Azhar represents Sunni school of though and does not allow any other sect to intervene in their affairs.”

The video of the Call to Prayer recitation is uploaded on YouTube and many anti-Shia people degraded Shadhli for his decision.

SRW condemns the discriminatory decision of the leaders of Al Azhar University and believes this university has lost its credibility in educational fields. “Education embraces openness, diversity and respect and clearly Al Azhar University does not support such concepts”, says director of SRW, Mustafa Akhwand.

Same university has expelled students in past because of their Shia faith. Al Azhar University and leaders of Egypt must realize Egyptian Shia share their language, ethnicity and values and the must enjoy the same citizen ship rights as non-Shia. Discriminations and hatreds is a sign of incompetency of leaders.
