So this is an Islamic Moderate?
At a convention on the subject of
"Pluralism in Islam" which took place in late August, 2004 at the Egyptian
Journalists' Union in Cairo, Sheikh Dr. Yousef Al-Qaradhawi, a leader
of the Muslim Brotherhood movement and one of the most important
religious authorities in Islamist circles, issued a religious legal opinion
permitting the abduction and killing of American civilians in Iraq in order to
pressure the American army to evacuate its forces. Al-Qaradhawi stressed the
fact that in his view, "all of the Americans in Iraq are combatants, there is no
difference between civilians and soldiers, and one should fight them, since the
American civilians came to Iraq in order to serve the occupation. The abduction
and killing of Americans in Iraq is a [religious] obligation so as to cause them
to leave Iraq immediately. The mutilation of corpses [however] is forbidden in
Islam."
Well thank god, wouldn’t wan’t these guys cutting up bodies would we? Live
folk? No problem. Never too late for change....
