Egyptian professor Abd al-Sabour Shahin, head of the Shari’a faculty at Al-Ahzar University in Cairo, told Saudi Channel 1 TV on 8 Aug. 2005:
“One day, we awoke to the crime of 9/11, which hit the tallest buildings in New York….There is no doubt that not a single Arab or Muslim had anything to do with these events. The incident was fabricated as a pretext to attack Islam and Muslims…. Allah knows that the Arabs and Muslims are innocent of it.”
“All of a sudden, we were framed for an international crime, on the basis of lies. I believe a dirty Zionist hand carried out this act.”
