Sufis and Salafis Unappeased

During a conference held by the Muslim Brotherhood in Beheira in a bid for reconciliation between the Sufis and Salafis both failed to see eye to eye regarding the destruction of shrines.

The Sufis rejected the Salafis actions of destroying shrines and tombs of revered religious figures describing them as anti-Islamic.

Sheikh Ahmed Sebaie refused to sign the reconciliation document unless it stated that demolishing the shrines was against the Islamic law and forbidden in Islam however the clause was not added which resulted in no resolution.
