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.
2011 started with one Iran. With Egypt and Libya added to the list, we’ll soon have three Irans. Wonder who is next. Yemen? Bah(phlegm)rain? Jordan? Algeria?
Ghaddafy shold order the Cleric killed
Tolerance kills and the Muslims who are weak will be taken and controlled
while all others are beheaded and raped, then blamed for their own murder.
Islam made it clear decades ago that they will rise and war against nonbelievers.
This is their chance with a Muzzie in the White House, their own paper tiger.
If Gaddafi makes it through this round of disturbances, it would be amusing if he had the guy disappeared. I suspect for $1m, he could get any cleric whacked.
“With all the talk of 2012 being a year of big changes...”
The left is globally milking the mayan superstition for all it’s worth.
Note that the Russians had the Chechen Islamist leader Zelimkhan_Yandarbiyev killed in Qatar (which was harboring him). They were able to force Qatar to hand over the assassins (who received a hero’s welcome in Moscow), despite these assassins being arrested and sentenced to life terms.
How can some preacher, safe behind his pulpit, issue a death warrent for a leader with no repercussions? What a screwy system!!! Every cleric/man is judge, jury and executioner???
Thank you...
It’s not like it sounds, Infidel.
Islam was, is and will always be the only Religion of Peace
But, but, he has an UMBRELLA.
