Leading Muslim Brotherhood Theologian Calls to Kill the Jews


(Sputnik News-Russia) Ekaterina Kudashkina - Valentina Colombo, Senior Fellow at the European Foundation for Democracy in Brussels, said in an interview: A few days ago Yusuf Qaradawi issued a...call to the Arab and Muslim peoples. And the title of this call was "Save al-Aqsa." At the end of the statement Qaradawi quotes Hadith, a saying of Muhammad: "The time would not come until the Muslims will fight the Jews and kill them; until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: Oh, Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him!" The meaning of this is that Qaradawi, who is the main theologian of the Muslim Brotherhood, is calling to kill Jews. Qaradawi is the President of the International Union of Muslim Scholars. He is also the President of the European Council for Fatwa and Research based in Dublin. So, he is part of the European context. If a person like him calls to kill the Jews, we do not know what can happen next Friday in mosques or in the next days in the streets of Europe.
