开罗爱资哈尔清真寺
该枚邮票发行于1957年,是爱资哈尔清真寺的千年盛典纪念。该清真寺建于公元10世纪,不久就成了一所大学中心。她是世界上最古老的清真寺和大学。逊尼派穆斯林认为她是伊斯兰教研究的最享有声望的大学机构。

Al Azhar in Cairo The postage stamp, dating from 1957, commemorated the
millennium of Al Azhar. The mosque was built in the 10th century AD and soon became the center of a university. It is one of the oldest in the world. Sunni Muslims consider it the most prestigious institution of Islamic studies. |

为终止传统的性器官毁损而获得宗教和民间支持的重要行动于2003年在开罗举行。从受到过这种习俗影响的非洲和阿拉伯国家来的28名代表发布了《废除女性生殖器毁损开罗宣言》(Cairo
Declaration for the Elimination of
Female Genital Mutilation)。
这个文件之所以重要,是因为它不可能由不了解当地社会实情的西方社会的倡导者所制定。尤其具有重要意义的是两个最富有影响力的伊斯兰教和基督教宗教领袖在埃及的声明,他们是来自爱资哈尔清真寺(Al-Azhar)[1]的谢克大教长(Grand Sheykh,全名H.E.
Sheykh Mohammed Sayed Tantawy)和科普特教宗(Koptic
Pope)欣诺达三世(Shenouda
III)的代表。两位宗教领袖重申“无论是伊斯兰教或者基督教都没有该习俗的宗教教义”。
开罗声明在当地与国际代理机构之间致力于变革的合作奠定了新基础。欲知开罗声明全文,请点击此处。

Mutilation of Female Sex Organs:
Strategies 2
An important step in
obtaining religious and civil support
for the end of the traditional sexual
mutilations was taken in 2003 in Cairo. Representatives from
28 African and Arab countries affected
by the practice
issued the Cairo
Declaration for the Elimination of
Female Genital Mutilation.
This document was important, because it could not be attributed to uncomprehending Western agitators. Especially
significant were the statements of the two most influential Islamic and Christian religious leaders in Egypt, the
Grand Sheykh of Al-Azhar, H.E. Sheykh Mohammed Sayed Tantawy, and the representative of the
Koptic Pope, Shenouda III. Both reaffirmed that “no religious precept either in Islam or Christianity justifies the practice”. The Cairo Declaration created a new basis for the co-operation between local and international agents for change. For the full text, click
