I am not surprised at all.

Similar fatwas were issued years ago (or decades ago?) during the initial Pokemon boom.

And if someone is gonna come in here and tell me this is extreme Wahabi teachings only, read the OP again. This is coming from Al-Azhar, an institution that is well-known for its "moderate" views among Muslims, not only that, actually a lot of Muslims criticises Al-Azhar for being "too moderate".

Moderate Islam just doesn't exist period.

Wow, if that's "moderate" Islam... I don't even want to know the extremist side of it. :o
