RIYADH, Jan 3 (KUNA) -- The General Mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
Sheikh Abdel Aziz Aziz Bin Abdullah Al-Alsheikh condemned on Monday the blast
that had taken place in Alexandria, claiming lives and wounding dozens of
Egyptian citizens.
The incidents in Alexandria that have been condemned by the whole world,
namely the kingdom, are not related to Islam; nor serve the heavenly religion,
said the Mufti in a statement he made at the inauguration of a traditional
calligraphy exhibition at King Abdul Aziz Dar.
Enemies of Islam are trying to portray such attacks as orchestrated by
Muslims, with the intention to rally hatred against the nation, the Mufti
warned.
Such attacks are aimed at weakening the Muslim nation, creating chias among
its ranks and paving way for the enemies to score points against the Muslims,
Al-Alsheikh added.
These grave incidents bleed the hearts of Muslims, he stressed, urging
Muslims to be vigilant vis a vis plots made behind curtains by their enemies.
