One of the world’s leading Islamic clerics on Friday called for dialogue between the faith’s two main currents to settle sectarian differences, in an address to religious leaders including Pope Francis.
AWALI, Bahrain –
The major division in Islam is between Sunni and Shiite, and Tayeb’s call came as sectarian divisions in the Middle East have exacerbated regional conflicts including in Yemen and Syria. “Let us together chase away any talk of hate, provocation and excommunication and set aside ancient and modern conflict in all its forms,” he added.
He said the senior scholars at Al-Azhar and the Muslim Council of Elders are ready to host a meeting “so we can sit down together on one roundtable to put aside our differences and strengthen our Islamic unity”.
