Egypt-European Union, Politics, 4/12/2005

Egypt's Ministry of Awkaf sets arrangements for sending a convoy to France to rectify the image of Islam. The convoy will comprise a constellation of Egyptian scholars for engaging the public about what Islam is.

On his part, Minister of Awkaf Mahmoud Hamdi Zaqzouq said a second convoy will head for Germany on Saturday and will group four of the most distinguished preachers who have the ability to address the Western mentality.

The Germany-bound convoy will be presided over by the Mufti of the Republic Sheikh Ali Gomaa within the framework of Egypt's keenness on highlighting the Islamic tenets, especially this period in which fierce attacks against Islam have increased.
