Cleric orders Gaddafi killed
Sky News ^ | Tuesday February 22, 2011 | Unknown

Posted on 02/21/2011 6:26:39 PM PST by Las Vegas Ron

Influential Muslim cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi has issued a fatwa that any Libyan soldier who can shoot dead embattled leader Muammar Gaddafi should do so 'to rid Libya of him.'

'Whoever in the Libyan army is able to shoot a bullet at Mr Gaddafi should do so,' Qaradawi, an Egyptian-born cleric who is usually based in Qatar, told Al-Jazeera television.

He also told Libyan soldiers 'not to obey orders to strike at your own people,' and urged Libyan ambassadors around the world to dissociate themselves from Gaddafi's regime.

Famous in the Middle East for his at times controversial fatwas, or religious edicts, the octogenarian Qaradawi has celebrity status in the Arab world thanks to his religious broadcasts on Al-Jazeera.

He has in the past defended 'violence carried out by certain Muslims.'

The West accuses the cleric of supporting 'terrorism' because he sanctioned Palestinian suicide attacks in Israel. Britain and the United States have refused to grant him entry visas.

The cleric, spiritual leader of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and longtime resident of Qatar, heads the International Union for Muslim Scholars.

Wait a minute.

Is this all about the rambling, long winded speech he gave before the UN in September of 2009?

Nothing strange here.

Islamic radicals seeking to impose their Sharia as law are emboldened by obama hussein and are poised to take over the entire mid east.

What did we expect after electing an islamic leader?

Anyone else getting the haunting feeling this guy Qaradawi is going to be the leader of a radical muslim federation stretching from Tunisia to Jordan?

Maybe I'm out of the loop here, isn't the daffy one one of their own?

Why is he getting thrown under the bus so soon?

It’s so nice to see messages of peace from the clergy.

This old world is heading for judgment. It may not be tomorrow but it will be soon. For those who know Jesus as their Savior, what a glorious day is approaching. For those who don't there is still time to accept Jesus.

Jesus did not make it hard to be forgiven and born again. You must truly believe Jesus is the Son of God, that he died upon the cross for your sins, and was resurrected on the third day and now lives on the right hand of God the Father.

Just come to Him in humbleness confessing that you are a sinner, repent of your sins, and ask Jesus to come into your heart and forgive you. There is great rejoicing in Heaven when a sinner make this decision.

It is the most important decision a person will ever make!

I think he should be spared due to his taste in Russian nurses. His nurse is not guilty!

Yep.. far more nationalist than islamist. I despise Qaddafi, but like the case in Egypt, Tunisia and likely Yemen, the replacement is going to be more dangerous to the West and Israel than the status quo.
