There, he warmly embraced Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, Al-Azhar’s grand imam who hosted the pope and other senior Muslim and Christian leaders at a peace conference. “As religious leaders, we are called to unmask violence that masquerades as purported sanctity,” Francis said to applause from the crowd. Egypt’s Islamic State affiliate claimed responsibility for the attacks.
