Egypt's Mubarak blames Muslims for faith's bad image
Muslims had done enough to change the West's "wrong perceptions" about Islam, which he said was under "ferocious attack."

He also said Islam needed a fresh religious discourse to promote tolerance and uproot extremist views.

"Don't we Muslims share part of the responsibility for the wrong perceptions about Islam? Have we done our duty in correcting the image of Islam and Muslims?" he said.
