In Egypt, ‘3000 extremist fatwas’ incite destruction of churches


The extremist fatwas rejected coexistence between Muslims and Christians in Egypt.
The Mufti said that “all attempts aiming to divide between the Muslims and Christians of Egypt have failed.”
He added: “Muslims had never destroyed any kind of heritage after their historic victories in foreign countries, in contrary to what ISIS and other extremists are doing now.”
He said that they have also found “fatwas inciting the demolition of Cairo and Giza heritage sites, in an explicit violation to the way Islam deals with heritage.”
