Qaradawi says in fatwa Egyptians should back Mursi

Share:

egypt anti gov qaradawiA leading Qatar-based cleric declared in a religious edict, or fatwa, on Saturday that Egyptians should support ousted President Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood and the military should withdraw from the political scene.

Egyptian-born Youssef al-Qaradawi, one of the most prominent Sunni clerics in the Middle East, said in the fatwa posted on his website that the military’s intervention to depose Mursi on Wednesday was against democracy and the constitution.

“Doctor al-Qaradawi issued a fatwa on the necessity to support the elected Egyptian president Mohamed Mursi, and to retain the constitution… and calling on al-Sisi and those with him to withdraw to preserve legitimacy and democracy,” the posting said.

He said many scholars from Cairo’s al-Azhar Islamic university, Egypt’s pre-eminent Muslim institution, agreed with him.

Mursi was elected last summer, a year after long-time strongman Hosni Mubarak was toppled in a popular revolt with the aid of the military. The Muslim Brotherhood was banned in Egypt during Mubarak’s rule.

At least 24 people were killed on Friday when supporters of Mursi protested across the country at Wednesday’s coup and the subsequent detention of Muslim Brotherhood leaders.

Qaradawi, chairman of the International Federation of Muslim Scholars, has been a vociferous supporter of the revolutions that roiled Arab countries in 2011. Last month he called for a holy war in Syria against President Bashar al-Assad.

    Google “Iran, Freemasonry and the Muslim Brotherhood” its a facebook page where you will see some pictures and one of those pictures on the bottom left of that page you can see this Qaradawi posing with Hasan Nasrullah. They all are on the same agenda within different package.

      That I’d go along with, since the ‘agendas’ are to have/gain control and figure out how to mess with the minds. Fathead Fatwahs should get this guy invited OUT of Qatar, since they hardly need more idiots there.
      As for a ‘site’ that is named that, it would be the same as the NRA site … favourite theories of the mentally challenged. Really, wargame … sometimes you need to sit back and contemplate where you’re hearing things from. And even if there’s some trying to foment an agenda of fear based on half-truths, what are the odds they could succeed like the NRA does? 😉
      By the way, I don’t know what you see below here … I see two columns, left one is related to YaLibnan stories, and the right one is called ‘Around The Web’ … which Most often is links to a pile of crapulous sensationalist sites – probably based on ‘Fox News Episodes’ where they love to create the ‘news’. Get a grip, man ….

        I am well aware of what I am writing and with reference. You argue with theory without any reference. Every one has theory but when you claim it then you need reference to back it up. So search for reference before you make bombastic comment and before you admonish people with your little experience ,you need to apply those on you , so sit back and contemplate. The Arab spring will sort out these kind of hypocrite and rest assured that those Lebanese lackey of Iran acting like a bell boy of Ayatullahs will also be sorted out.

          Yes, I know wargame, you throw in all sorts of references. And I appreciate it. You spend time that I no longer have to search for your truths.
          Perhaps I try to get back to the ‘simple’ too often. Everyone likes to complicate matters so much, after all, and the old head spins. But all the ‘rules’ man creates are based on one simple original thought, and if you don’t adhere to it closely, the thought is lost. SOME should have been lost a long time ago – and SOME were. Trying to revive those is not going to advance anything for humans. The education is supposed to show us BOTH – and explain why some didn’t work … so we can simply ignore them, or at least sort out the difference between a good story for entertainment and the truth of life on a hostile planet.

          Now, if I have come across as one with little experience, then I apologize. But relating my experiences will not solve the human world’s problems – although, I could, I suppose, ‘sit back and contemplate’ – and write ‘the book’ instead of blogging – which, if it fit into your quests for ‘reason’ could become a reference of sorts for the research … or something like ‘How some old guys used to manage to live’ chuckle chuckle.
          (Which, in thinking about it, might be the best way to present it … hard to believe a few of those little realities … hmmm)

          Of course, I’m not above slinging mud sometimes just for fun. 🙂
          If I had experienced EVERYTHING, wargame, I would be dead now.

    What in the world is happening? all of these Moslem fanatics and their leaders are now talking Democracy and legitimacy? ……..it is becoming too funny

      Well, BFL, I think their version is wrapped with Taquiya … Mursi-style democracy was ‘Elect me, I make a constitution for me, you listen to me.’ Sort of backwards.
