LARBI KECHAT AT UOIF MEETING

Larbi Kechat at UOIF Meeting

23.05.2015 Fiammetta Venner

Larbi Kechat, the former Rector* of Addawa Mosque, was one of the speakers at the UOIF gathering.

His lecture was entitled “How to enjoy the blessed month nowadays”.

Larbi Kechat has long favored the Muslim Brothers in his mosque, even though his sermons were more radical.

In the eighties, the Addawa mosque sheltered the group of Meherzia Laabidi women for a long time. Then a dispute forced the group to leave. In 2011, Meherzia Laabidi was elected to the Tunisian Constituent Assembly on behalf of the Ennahdha movement and became the first vice-president of the Assembly.

Larbi Kechat received donations from many Muslim Brotherhoods for his mosque, including:

  • Youssef Al Qaradawi
  • Saïd Ramadan Al-Bouthi
  • Omar Abdelkafy

*A battle is underway at Addawa Mosque to determine whether or not Larbi Kechat is the leader of the Mosque.
