ISIL cancer must be rooted out: Egyptian Mufti
Shawki Allam, Egypt’s Grand Mufti says education must be used to “root out the cancer of the Islamic State from the Arab region”.

The senior Muslim cleric also condemned the “horrific acts and reckless killings” by Isis fighters, saying that their ­actions were un-Islamic.

“We have unequivocally stated that such behaviour is not in line with Islamic teachings. . . their reckless acts undermine societal peace in the ­region,” he told The Times.

“That is why we took it upon ourselves to dismantle these wrong ideas. . . we have put ISIS under the microscope and written responses to their horrific acts. We are doing our homework as far as this cancer is concerned,” he said.

The remarks come weeks after Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, Egypt’s largest terrorist group, pledged allegiance to Islamic State.
