Top Cleric should Purify His Hand after Peres Handshake
Several newspapers and lawmakers in Egypt called on the country's top Islamic cleric to resign for shaking the Israeli president's hand at a conference.
[The] Egyptian media has been running a photo of Grand Sheik Mohammed Seyed Tantawi shaking hands with Israeli President Shimon Peres almost daily since the two met at a UN-sponsored interfaith dialogue in New York last month. Al-Osboa newspaper called on Tantawi to ritually purify his hands after the shake. Tantawi said he did not recognize the Israeli president.
