For the first time since he was banned from leading weekly friday prayers in Egypt 30 years ago, prominent Muslim scholar Yusuf al-Qaradawi will lead thousands in the weekly prayers from Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Friday.

Sources told Al Arabiya that a military force will accompany the head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars from his home to Tahrir Square, provide security for the prayers and accompany him back to his residence.

Al-Qaradawi last delivered a Friday prayer sermon in Egypt in 1981 after the assassination of former President Anwar el-Sadat.

With a resume like that, he is a natural to speak to the protesters in Madison. Trumka will give him a big welcome.


Great post!

He can go on on a US tour—maybe dear leader will throw him a party as well, since our dear leader has just sided against Israel in the UN :(

Already back in 1996,the organization was identified by the CIA as a radical Islamic humanitarian organization bearing the name of INTERNATIONAL HUMANITAIRE HILFSORGANIZATION (IHH) A.K.A International Humanitarian Relief Organization, whose main offices were located in Zagreb and Sarajevo, its Headquarters in Germany, established by a member of the Turkish Refah Party.

“Qaradawi’s Ominous Return to Egypt”

IPT News
February 17, 2011

SNIPPET: “Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an influential Muslim Brotherhood theologian, promises to be in Egypt’s Tahrir Square to deliver a sermon at Friday’s prayer service.”

SNIPPET: “In the past two years, he also has:

Called on Muslims to acquire nuclear weapons “to terrorize their enemies.”

Called jihad an Islamic moral duty and said Muslims are permitted to kill Israeli women because they serve in the army.

Affirmed his support for suicide bombings. “I supported martyrdom operations,” he said, according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). “This is a necessary thing, as I told them in London. Give the Palestinians tanks, airplanes, and missiles, and they won’t carry out martyrdom operations. They are forced to turn themselves into human bombs, in order to defend their land, their honor, and their homeland.”

Called the Holocaust a divine punishment of Jews “for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them - even though they exaggerated this issue - he managed to put them in their place. This was divine punishment for them. Allah willing, the next time will be at the hands of the believers.”

Prayed for the opportunity to kill a Jew before his death. “The only thing that I hope for is that as my life approaches its end, Allah will give me an opportunity to go to the land of Jihad and resistance, even if in a wheelchair. I will shoot Allah’s enemies, the Jews, and they will throw a bomb at me, and thus, I will seal my life with martyrdom. Praise be to Allah.””

Rmember that Ayatollah Khomeni use to write a similar ask-the-mullah column. I think his first published work, actually, was a column saying it was okay for a Muslim man to have sex with a chicken as long as he didn’t eat it afterwards. I don’t recall whether it was okay to sell it in the market to some other Muslim.

I kid you not.

When I first spotted the article myself over at Drudgereport, from Der Spegel via Drudge, and read as much as I could, I could not believe my eyes that this Imam was a Muslim verson of “Dear Abby”.

Also called “Islam’s Spiritual “Dear Abby” and “The Voice of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood” as well. This is the title of a recent Der Spegel online edition which was posted a few days ago on Drudgereport:

In the alternate universe that the liberals live in this is just like the berlin wall coming down with Obama playing the role of Reagan...

When in fact it is like Iran on steroids with Obama playing a American hating muslim version of Carter with the US on the verge of economic collapse.
