Grand Mufti of Egypt Shawki AlamWORDE Invites Delegation of Religious Leaders Including the Grand Mufti of Egypt to Washington, D.C.
 
Given the increasing threat of transnational terrorist organizations, Egypt’s religious leaders have been called upon to confront violent extremist ideologies – creating a unique opportunity for the US and international community to empower religious actors to develop an effective counter messaging strategy. To explore this potential, WORDE will invite a delegation of religious scholars to Washington, D.C. from October 24-28, 2016 to participate in high-level meetings and consultations with government officials, policy analysts, academics, and community members.
The delegation will include:
  • Mufti Shawki Allam, Grand Mufti of Egypt
  • Shaykh Ibrahim Negm, Spokesperson for the Grand Mufti.
  • Shaykh Muhammad Mahana, Senior Advisor for the Shaykh of Al-Azhar, Professor at Al-Azhar University, and renowned Sufi community leader
