For his part, Prince Saud Al-Faisal conveyed the greetings of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to Dr. Al-Tayyeb and the members of the Supreme Council of Al-Azhar, thanking them for this honor. Prince Saud Al-Faisal praised the fine and purged profile of Al-Azhar since its inception more than 1060 years ago. This civilized legacy in defense of a pure and moderate portrait of our religion, puts great emphasis on Al-Azhar of today as our region is witnessing an unprecedented defaming attempt of Islam, he said. He confirmed that what is done by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques is just part of his duty towards his religion and Ummah and that he is honored to always serve Islam and Muslims. He added that the monarch's position towards Egypt is also just reflecting his feelings of love to Egypt and its people and his keenness on its security and stability and others' non-interference in its internal affairs as part of his constant keenness on the security and stability of the other Arab countries. --More 19:59 LOCAL TIME 16:59 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
