The vice-president of the committee for dialogue between religions in the Azhar, Dr. Ali Al-Samman, explained why the Vatican did not apologize for the crusades. It is because European history syllabuses give western people the idea that Salah Al-Deen was the leader of an Islamic aggression during the crusades. He admitted that the results of the dialogue between the Azhar and the Vatican don’t satisfy the wishes of public opinion, although they are good.
