The spokesman for Al-Azhar University, the largest religious institution in the Sunni Muslim world, resigned from his post and joined protesters demanding the departure of President Hosni Mubarak in Tahrir Square.

Muhammad Rifaa al-Tahtawi said the Al-Azhar Grand Sheikh is a wise, patriotic man, but he (Tahtawi) resigned because he is supposed to be representing Al-Azhar and his positions do not reflect Al-Azhar's situation.

Tahtawi said to Al-Masry Al-Youm in a statement that he joined protesters to support them and that he will not leave Tahrir Square till their demands are achieved. He stressed that Islam forbids all forms of injustice.

He called for penalizing all those involved in acts of bullying against protesters in Tahrir.

He said that Mubarak leaving the country would only be the beginning of resolving the crisis. He said that confrontations will continue until Mubarak leaves. Tahtawy called for establishing a civil state where people are allowed to select their representatives in an efficient manner. He added that protesters can't believe promises that might not be achieved.
