TOP5 4723 Royaume Uni l Eglise anglicane retire une distinction a un religieux pakistanais
The Church of England has withdrawn an award given to Pakistani cleric Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi after the revelation of past remarks in which he praised Osama bin Laden and discussed bestowing an honorary title upon the Al-Qaeda leader. Awarded on September 11 for his commitment to interfaith dialogue, the prize was revoked following the renewed controversy. Ashrafi maintains that his 2007 statements did not constitute support for bin Laden.
