Egypt's Al-Azhar Distances Itself from Crackdown on Pro-Morsi Camps
Egypt's Al-Azhar, Sunni Islam's main seat of learning, on Wednesday distanced itself from the crackdown on protesters loyal to ousted president Mohammed Morsi which left dozens dead.
"Al-Azhar stresses to all Egyptians that it did not know about the methods used for the dispersal of the protests except through media channels," Grand Imam Ahmed al-Tayyeb said in a televised statement.
Tayyeb condemned any use of violence and called on all sides to "exercise self-restraint and take into account the interests of the nation."
"The use of violence has never been an alternative to a political solution," he said.
Tayyeb reiterated his call for a negotiated solution to the crisis pitting Morsi's supporters and the army-installed leadership that has paralyzed the country.
The prestigious institution had infuriated Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood by siding with the military over the Islamist president's ouster on July 3.
