OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)– Sheikh Ekrema Sabri, the head of the higher Islamic authority, has condemned the call by Jewish fanatic groups for the destruction of Mohammed Al-Fateh mosque in occupied Jerusalem.

He said in a statement on Tuesday that the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) does not respect religions, thus it casually deals with burning or demolishing mosques.

He held the IOA responsible for any harm done to the holy shrines, pointing out that Islam respects all places of worship of all religions.

Palestinian sources said that the Israel Land Fund, which finances Jewish fanatic settlement activities, was inciting the IOA into destroying the mosque in Ras Al-Amoud located near to the Jewish cemetery at the pretext of illegal maintenance works.
