For the first time since he was banned from leading weekly friday prayers in Egypt 30 years ago, prominent Muslim scholar Yusuf al-Qaradawi will lead thousands in the weekly prayers from Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Friday.

Sources told Al Arabiya that a military force will accompany the head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars from his home to Tahrir Square, provide security for the prayers and accompany him back to his residence.

Al-Qaradawi last delivered a Friday prayer sermon in Egypt in 1981 after the assassination of former President Anwar el-Sadat.

This guy is a hate filled, anti-Western, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, Jihadist preacher who gives theological justification (using the Quran and Hadditha) for terrorism! GREAT JOB THERE OBAMA! Lots of Islamic preachers like this will now gradually take over. This guy has a long history with the Muslim Brotherhood.

I don't know about you, but I just had that strange Deja Vu feeling.

With a resume like that, he is a natural to speak to the protesters in Madison. Trumka will give him a big welcome.

Is this “inspiring”?

[blueplum]

reaction from the State Department: (insert sound of crickets chirping here)

[FourPeas]

I suppose that depends on where one stands on freedom, which explains why Barry finds it “inspiring.”

Recall the Turkish terror group IHH of Gaza Flotilla / Code Pink fame. Guess who's back...

IHH also is part of the Union of Good, a collection of charities run by Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi. The union was designated by the U.S. Treasury Department in 2008 as a terrorist entity due to its fund-raising activities on behalf of Hamas and Hamas-controlled organizations in the West Bank and Gaza.” ...Read More here: http://www.investigativeproject.org/1982/violence-and-humanitarian-aid----- "Violence and Humanitarian Aid," INVESTIGATIVE PROJECT - IPT News ^ | June 1, 2010 | n/a http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2525576/posts, Posted on June 1, 2010 3:39:00 PM PDT by Cindy

I mean seriously; who DOESN’T see history repeating itself??

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

The Ayatollah’s plane has touched down in Cairo...

[americanophile]

Yep, here we go again.

[americanophile]

Islam as a political force clearly reasserting itself in post-Mubarak Egypt.

[piasa]

It will be interesting to see if Qaradawi’s buddy Salah Sultan [who has links to the Columbus, Ohio area] turns up prominently among Bahrain’s rioters. He left Ohio for Bahrain back in 2007.

[mewykwistmas]

Don’t worry about him, didn’t Jimmi Carter say they’re OK??

“I will shoot Allah’s enemies, the Jews, and they will throw a bomb at me, and thus I will seal my life with martyrdom.”

“kill them [jews], down to the very last one.”

“I support Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah. I oppose the peace that Israel and America wish to dictate. This peace is an illusion. I support martyrdom operations.”

This guy sounds like an MSNBC talk show host and Democrat.

I think to get into this whole 70's theme that Obummers foreign and domestic policy has us on I am going to turn the heat down to 65 degrees, put on my plaid pants and a couple sweaters and watch an episode of "Dallas".

Might as well have fun as we go down in flames.

Where is Bill Ayers these days? And, oh yes, Bernadine too. . .

JANUARY 2010 early : () A convoy led by then-British MP George Galloway ended in violence at the Egyptian-Gaza border in early January after authorities delayed their entry into Gaza.
An Egyptian police officer was shot and killed by Hamas gunmen. Egypt deported Galloway, made it clear he was unwelcome there again, and told the convoy it could no longer enter through its crossing. Galloway’s partner in that convoy was the Turkish-based International Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH)....——— “Violence and Humanitarian Aid,” INVESTIGATIVE PROJECT - IPT News ^ | June 1, 2010 | n/a

Hey, maybe it's not our call.

The American people would not stand for an external entity telling US who could be here or pray here.

Sucks, but it's not our call.
