Britain
’Radical’ cleric allowed into UK
2004-07-07
Egyptian-born Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi has been accused of making anti-Semitic remarks and supporting suicide bombers. BBC religious affairs correspondent Martha Doyle said although respected in the Arab world, his visit has angered leaders of Jewish community groups. Labour MP Louise Ellman said it would be "an outrage" to let him visit, and create "enormous security problems". The Liverpool MP accused Dr Al-Qaradawi of encouraging women and children to be suicide bombers and seeking the destruction of Israel. Mrs Ellman is calling for his speeches to be monitored.

But the Muslim Association of Britain Association for Cultural Domination in the UK, which is hosting Dr Al-Qaradawi, regards him as a moderating voice. The organisation claims that his views on suicide bombers are irrelevant. On its website, it said Dr Al-Qaradawi arrived in London on Monday for a week-long visit during which he would take part in a number of functions. That included chairing the European Council of Fatwa and Research, which will open under the auspices of Mayor Ken Livingston at the Greater London Assembly in London on Wednesday, it said. Our correspondent said the cleric had publicly supported Palestinian suicide bombers. He is expected to preach at the Finsbury Park mosque in north London, where imprisoned Sheikh Abu Hamza al-Masri was imam, she said. Dr Al-Qaradawi, who is based in Doha in Qatar, has been banned from the US since 1999.

So much for the infamous Finsbury Park Mosque becoming a more moderate institution as promised. The organisation claims that his views on suicide bombers are irrelevant Sheesh! I can only imagine MI5/6 have this one planned in orderto drag the scum out of the woodwork for a photo opportunity.

I am extremely glad to see so many others catch on this one particular turn of phrase. Pure and simple, IT'S A DEALBREAKER! Nobody is permitted to intentionally overlook other people's intention of actively abetting mass murder. Both conscience and morality dictate against any such idea.

That Britain is incapable of rejecting this monster's temporary visa represents a slow suicide by neglect. If Europe remains incapable of making a unified rally against this sort of overt sedition, they are doomed.

People keep talking about driving a "wedge" between moderate Muslims and their jihadi counterparts. I propose that the only effective "wedge" is death. Those who lean overmuch towards the side of terrorism will be sheared off into the void along with the truly diseased portion as well. This is truly necessary as part of ensuring that all promotion of such psychopathic tendencies ceases immediately. Anyone who actively and openly advocates terrorism needs to go on a wetworks list.

#6  Yep, his views on suicide bombings are irrelevant and why should these Jihadists think any differently? After all, Jack Straw gave him a visa, right? In spite of all the crap the Sheikh espouses, so the Turbans know what works and what doesn't in post-modern UK. In fact, I bet the Sheikh returns to the UK after this trip is over. What, me worry?

#5  Is the Finbury Park Mosque fireproof? Just wondering.

You folks think that this guy is radical? Hellz Bellz, this guy is a moderate. We've got guys that breathe fire when they talk, like Smaug the dragon!!

European Council of Fatwa and Research

That title is one that I should have thought of, but I have not been in the fatwa business for many a moon. Imagine what goes on there....Bunch of guys in tater-tot-type turbans, sitting around in a circle on the floor, eating postachio nuts and cranking out fatwas on this, that, and the other. What a life. It would all be humorous, except that these guys believe their own s**t and are very serious.

#2  To be followed by Enoch Powell...
I'm waiting for Al-Qaradawi's asylum claim and subsequent offer of a council house and benefits.

#1  I told you all "Blunket" would let him in and give him pocket money to boot. Europe is doomed. They just don't get it. Islam wants them converted or dead. So they bend over and grease up for islam being totally ignorant of the facts and getting all hot and bothered about "diversity". France is already done for Charles Martel is spinning in his grave.
