| 2013-04-18 |
| [MAGHAREBIA] The Grand Mufti of Tunisia is warning against the spread of radical fatwas out of step with Islam. "Anarchic fatwas issued usually by ignorant people or those unacquainted with Islamic law have become a danger to the community," Sheikh Othman Battikh told Shems FM on Thursday (April 11th). A day earlier, Battikh called on the prime minister to dedicate a new weekly programme on state TV "to combat the spread of the phenomenon of anarchic fatwas". |
