Obama Recruits Qaradawi [The surrender is complete now...]
NRO ^ | DECEMBER 31, 2011 | Andrew C. McCarthy

Posted on 12/31/2011 6:38:16 AM PST by RobinMasters

The surrender is complete now. The Hindu reports that the Obama administration has turned to Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the Muslim Brotherhood’s leading jurist, to mediate secret negotiations between the United States and the Taliban.

I wrote about Qaradawi at length in The Grand Jihad and, here at NRO, have regularly catalogued his activities (see, e.g., here, here, here, here, and here; see also Andrew Bostom’s “Qaradawi’s Odious Vision”). For those who may be unfamiliar with him, he is the most influential Sunni Islamist in the world, thanks to such ventures as his al-Jazeera TV program (Sharia and Life) and website (IslamOnline.net). In 2003, he issued a fatwa calling for the killing of American troops in Iraq. As he put it,

Those killed fighting the American forces are martyrs given their good intentions since they consider these invading troops an enemy within their territories but without their will. . . . Although they are seen by some as being wrong, those defending against attempts to control Islamic countries have the intention of jihad and bear a spirit of the defense of their homeland.

Qaradawi urges that Islam must dominate the world, under a global caliphate governed by sharia. He maintains that Islam “will conquer Europe [and] will conquer America.” He sometimes qualifies that the conquering will be done “not through the sword but through da’wa,” but the qualification is a feint.

Peace With Honor II. It was a farce then, it is a farce now. But it won’t just be the chopper on the embassy roof or the killing fields of Cambodia this time.

Barak
Hussein
Obama

The traitor has three Muslim names. Not just one or two. Whatever possessed Americans to vote for this commie/muzzie/saboteur? OK Obama is not a practicing Muslim but he never got baptized either though he claims to be Christian. He never goes to church

Bammy Boy will help the Jihad cause whenever he can. Not destroying that drone the Iranians captured is an example

Psst-Chinese takeout, six pack, remote control and a bottle of bubbly to pop when the muzzies ejected.

That’s an evening to remember.

What else do you expect. You have a muslin occupying the White house, put there by the fools and parasites. At one time, I thought it was idiots and parasites,but, after hearing one elaborate on all the problems are the fault of the Republicans and misguided Christians,I reached the conclusion that they are fools. Idiots cannot be indoctrinated to the same degree as fools.

But, al that aside, muslims do muslim things. To expect any difference is lunacy.

Some background is needed to understand this issue.

Al-Qardawi along with Tariq al-Bashri, Haytham al-Khayat, Muhammad Salim al-’Awa and Fahmi Huwaidi, five leading Islamic Sharia jurists, issued a fatwa dealing with Muslims in the American military having to fight other Muslims, part of which follows:

“And if the Muslim military personnel in the American army are able to request to serve temporarily during these imminent battles in the rear ranks to work in the area of rations and the like without that causing for them and other American Muslims any difficulty or detriment, then there is no problem in them making this request.”

“However, if this request will cause detriment or difficulty in the form of doubts about their loyalty, or exposes to
them to suspicion or false accusations, or harms their employment prospects, or casts doubt on their patriotism, or something similar, then this request is not permissible.”

This fatwa has been of great benefit to our military, allowing a basis for American Muslims to serve in combat missions against al Qaida, Taliban, etc. Arabic and Pashto native speakers have bee invaluable to us.

It is a complicated war against jihadists, you take your friends where you find them.

Al-Qardawi is the key to separating al Qaeda, particularly Zawahiri from the shelter of the Taliban in Pakistan.

Our primary goal is the extermination of AQ and the elimination of their training camps and hiding places in Pakistan. Biden was correct in that the Taliban is not our primary enemy there.

The Taliban live in Af-Pak and they aren’t leaving, we are. We can’t leave until AQ is the enemy of the Taliban.

That’s what this is all about.

A rabid America-hater who has been called “the most dangerous man in the world” by an American scholar of the Middle East. He started the “Arab Spring.” What does that tell you about how it’s going to turn out? If you didn’t know already, that is.

I fear that most of the idiots and brain-dead kids who voted for BHO see no problem with this (if they know about it, which they probably DON’T) and would (will?) do it all over again.

I agree totally with that. I pray they’ve learned, albeit the hard way. I’d researched BHO in depth and was near hysteria when the star-struck media announced his victory that night in ‘08.

And even at that, he’s turned out to be worse than I imagined.

McCain and Romney are tools, granted, but they aren’t Muslim with the intention of an Islamic caliphate and domination.

I think he IS a practicing Muslim - he’s practicing taqiyya because he’s POTUS, but I have no doubt he’s communicated this in private to the Mulim leader of every country in the ME.

Well, if you're going to negotiate with the Taliban, al Qaradawi would be a go to guy. I'd bet on al Qardawi coming out on top. It really will be an Islamist Spring. The last year has brought advances beyond their wildest dreams. And no, the don't miss Osamsa, the "mainstream" Islamists, those with "acceptable" open political organizations are winning right now. They'll be running several nations soon.
