Al-Azhar has condemned the terrorist attack that took place inside a church in the Egyptian Nile Delta City of Tanta, north of Cairo, on Sunday, terming it as a heinous crime against all Egyptians. "Attacks against places of worship go against the authentic Islamic religion and its teachings of tolerance, but fail to undermine the unity of the Egyptian people," Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ahmed Al-Tayyeb said in a statement today. Ahmed Al-Tayyeb expressed full confidence in the capability of Egyptian security forces to chase the criminals and bring them to justice.
