Blair meets Al-Azhar Sheikh
The butcher of Kabul and Basra, British PM Tony Blair, was in Cairo on a brief visit last Saturday where he met with Tantawi, the Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar, the Egyptian state’s religious establishment.
Western leaders, known for their anti-Muslim racism like Blair, Nicolas Sarkouzy, and others, have been in the habit of paying visits to the government-friendly Azhar Sheikh whenever they visit Cairo, or have troubles with Muslim Communities in their countries. They can all count on Tantawi’s support, who never lets them down.
