Make no mistake, the Muslim Brotherhood murderers will not go quietly. And they know they have Obama in their back pocket.

Perhaps Americans will begin to understand why these jihadists were banned under Mubarak.

Fatwa By Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi: Mursi Must Remain President; Al-Qaradhawi's Son In Response: You Taught Us That 'Freedom Comes Before The Shari'a' MEMRI, July 11, 2013

On July 6, 2013, three days after Egyptian President Muhammad Mursi was ousted by his opponents and by the Egyptian military, Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi, who heads the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), issued a fatwa determining that Mursi's removal by Egyptian Defense Minister 'Abd Al-Fatah Al-Sisi was a mistake, both constitutionally and according to Islamic shari'a.

Al-Qaradhawi ruled that Mursi must return to office, and that everyone must support him. He presented quotes from the Koran and Sunna to justify his ruling, and stressed that even if the ruler makes mistakes he must continue in his post, and that it is up to the people and the political forces to correct him, advise him, and be tolerant of him.

Also in his fatwa, Al-Qaradhawi attacked Al-Sisi, the sheikh of Al-Azhar, the Coptic patriarch, and the Salafis and other political forces who supported Mursi's ouster.

In response to the fatwa, 'Abd Al-Rahman Al-Qaradhawi, Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi's son, published a letter to his father titled "Sorry, Father, Mursi Has No Legitimacy, in which he opposed his father's fatwa and justified Mursi's removal. In his letter, 'Abd Al-Rahman Al-Qaradhawi claimed that his father's fatwa contradicts what he had written in one of his own books – i.e. that the ruler is bound by the opinion of the majority that swears loyalty to him. He further claimed that it was his father who taught him that freedom comes

I hope the Egyptian military knows this and acts accordingly.

Fatwa's are stupid religious edicts by lame so-called scholars

Thanks Perseverando.

In response to the fatwa, 'Abd Al-Rahman Al-Qaradhawi, Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi's son, published a letter to his father titled "Sorry, Father, Mursi Has No Legitimacy, in which he opposed his father's fatwa and justified Mursi's removal. In his letter, 'Abd Al-Rahman Al-Qaradhawi claimed that his father's fatwa contradicts what he had written in one of his own books – i.e. that the ruler is bound by the opinion of the majority that swears loyalty to him. He further claimed that it was his father who taught him that freedom comes before the Shari'a.

And in the bathroom, Shari'a comes before toilet paper, because, hey, we'd miss the toilet paper if it were gone too soon.
