Local Editor

Egypt's former Grnad Mufti, Ali Gomma, said that Wahhabism is a deviated group and the destroyer of the Islamic world, the Egyptian El Watan News reported.

The Egyptian news agencies reported that former Grand Mufti Ali Gomma who referred to a quote from the Prophet Muhhamad that "In najd the horn of Satan will be emerged," said: "The rising corruptions in the world of Islam have originated from this region [Najd]."

He made these comments following a joke from the OIC president, Iyad Madani directed at the Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

According to the report, Gomma said that the policy taken by Saudi Arabia-which claims is the inviter to the world of Islam-is wrong toward the Islamic world especially the Arab countries, because the kingdom had stepped on the path of destroying Islam and the Arab nations.

It is not surprising, he said, because they are followers of this cult [Wahhabism] and its founder.

He went on to say that "the land of the Two Holy Mosques is the ‘purest' of lands but the ‘dirtiest' of rulers reign over it."

"This folks", he said, "have damaged the notion of Islam with their silly and heinous acts."

Ali Gomma had called the Wahhabi leaders ‘seditionists', ‘unwise', and ‘captains of hell-bound ships' earlier during a sermon.
