Al-Azhar Muftititi who
enthusiastically shook the hands of Shimon Peres issues a most intolerant fatwawawa against the Baha'is. The ruling said that Baha'ism does "not belong in any way to the heavenly faiths, and it is far removed from religious teachings, and those who follow it are (misguided) and have no relations to religion." The kooky fatwawa also added that Baha'ism is a "Zionist movment and it serves Zionist goals and interests around the
world." The fatwawa council also had time to rule against any "literal" translation of the Qur'an.
