Archbishop Withdraws Award Over Controversy

A Arcebispa de Cantuária retirou um prêmio que concedeu a um muçulmano

clérigo depois que se soube que ele já tinha elogiado Osama bin Laden.

A Sociedade Secular Nacional classificou o prêmio concedido a Hafiz

Tahir Ashrafi como obsceno e quase além da paródia.

Nosso editor de religião, Ali Makbul, informa.

No Palácio de Lambeth, na última sexta-feira, a Arcebispa Sarah Mullally concedeu

a Hafiz Ashrafi um prêmio pela reconciliação e

cooperação inter-religiosa. Mas, posteriormente, soube-se que, em dois

mil e sete, o imã Ashrafi elogiou o arquiteto

dos atentados de 11 de Setembro, Osama bin Laden, como alguém que,

nas palavras dele, "lutou pelo Islã contra os russos,

americanos e britânicos." Agora, após fortes

críticas, o Palácio de Lambeth afirma que esses comentários

levaram à retirada do

prêmio.

Original transcript (English)

The Archbishop of Canterbury has withdrawn an award she gave to a Muslim cleric after it emerged he'd previously praised Osama bin Laden. The National Secular Society had branded the award to Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi obscene and almost beyond parody. Our religion editor, Ali Makbul, reports.

At Lambeth Palace last Friday, Archbishop Sarah Mullally gave Hafiz Ashrafi an award for reconciliation and interfaith cooperation. But it subsequently emerged that in two thousand and seven, Imam Ashrafi praised the architect of the nine eleven attacks, Osama bin Laden, as someone who,

in his words, "Fought for Islam against the Russians, Americans, and British." Now, after fierce criticism, Lambeth Palace says those comments have led to the award being withdrawn.
