Ekrima Sa'id Sabri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sheikh Ekrima Sa'id Sabri (Arabic: عكرمة سعيد صبري) was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine from from October 1994 to July 1, 2006. He was appointed by Yasser Arafat.
He agreed to let an interfaith group, associated with Reverend Sun Myung Moon, hold a peace rally in the Al Aqsa Mosque on December 22, 2003.[1] On February 20, 2005, he appeared on Al-Majd Saudi Arabian satellite TV to comment on the assassination of Rafik Hariri, the former Lebanese Prime Minister. Sabri stated: "Anyone who studies The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and specifically the Talmud will discover that one of the goals of these Protocols is to cause confusion in the world and to undermine security throughout the world."[2]
On July 1, 2006 the Jerusalem Post reported that Ekrima Sa'id Sabri had been fired from his post the previous week by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
