The Grand Imam, Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, Sheikh of Al-Azhar, said that Al-Azhar is fully aware and deeply knowledgeable of the vast difference between Judaism as a heavenly religion and Zionism as a racist settlement and occupation movement.He continued in an interview published by “Sawt Al-Azhar”: "We are against Zionism and not against Jews. Here in my office, I meet with Jewish religious figures and public figures who are fair and just, who reject Zionism and stand with the rights of the Palestinian people. Some of them have participated in many of the conferences that we have held or that we participate in....Here in Egypt, neither Al-Azhar nor the Egyptians as a whole are known to have any negative stance towards Jews. "
The 2014 ADL report on worldwide antisemitism finds that 75% of Egyptians have antisemitic attitudes.
But it isn't only Egypt - Al Azhar scholars have a long history of blatant antisemitism.
Including this same Ahmed al-Tayeb!
In 2011, he told a rally (where genocide of Jews was promised) that Jews everywhere in the world are seeking to prevent Islamic and Egyptian unity.
In 2013, Tayeb said, "See how we suffer today from global Zionism and Judaism…Since the inception of Islam 1,400 years ago, we have been suffering from Jewish and Zionist interference in Muslim affairs." And he quoted the Quran to prove it.
In 2018, Tayeb said, "As long as this entity is alive and active, the Arabs will remain neither living nor dead, and the Muslims will remain under attack. Note that if we continue this way, it will not end with the Al-Aqsa Mosque. They will march on the Kaaba and on the Prophet’s Mosque [in Medina]. This is on their minds and in their hearts.." This goes beyond the "Al Aqsa Mosque is in Danger" myth to say the Jews want to Judaize Meccan and Medina.
