I learned about this connection and history after reading this awesome book, and I highly reccomend it to anyone who is interested in learning how Islam, and the Middle East, got to where it is today. It's about an Austrian Jew who goes backpacking around in mostly Arabic countries in the 1920's and has such a wonderful experience that he converts to Islam. Yes, you read that right. Very interesting read, and gives more insight into the unfortunate history of Wahhabism.
UPDATE:
It starts on page 189, this paperback edition
The future rector M. Asad was speaking with was a Shaikh and it was of a group of scholars the Shaikh was speaking of.
Al Azhar has had some other louder collisions in this arena...
