Asalam 3leikoum wr wb,

I feel that Shaikh Yousef h.a. has been slandered here. please read the transcript of the speech and what the Shaikh said is correct.

Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi, Recently Barred from the U.K., Reiterates His Position on Suicide Bombings and Declares: Jews Are Not the Offspring of Apes and Pigs

Following are excerpts from addresses by Islamic scholar Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi, which aired on Al-Hiwar TV on February 15, 2008 and on Al-Jazeera TV on February 18, 2008.

Al-Hiwar TV, February 15, 2008:

Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi: I am known in the Islamic world as the preacher of the mainstream.

[...]

But the [British authorities] ignored this, and they focused on the issue of martyrdom operations, as if this was something new. I have [supported] this for more than 20 years. I am not the only one to support this. More than 300 Muslim scholars have supported it. I do not automatically permit martyrdom operations. I permit them under specific constraints, when necessary – like in the case of our Palestinian brothers, who are forced to defend themselves by turning themselves into bombs. I said to a British TV broadcaster in the summer of 1983: "Brother, you can prevent these martyrdom operations. Give the Palestinians just one percent of the tanks, missiles, and Apache helicopters that their adversaries have, and they will not resort to martyrdom operations." They are forced to do so. God has given them this means as a kind of just and divine compensation. Their only way to defend themselves is for one of them to turn himself into a human bomb. This is divine justice.

I sanctioned these operations to anybody who is forced to carry them out in defense of his homeland. In my opinion, our brothers in Palestine are forced to do so. In Iraq, they have a wide variety of weapons. They are able to use weapons against their enemies. But the weapons of the Palestinian brothers are no match for their enemies' weapons – they do not have even one percent or one permille of their weapons. That's why I sanctioned these operations for [the Palestinians], but not for [the Iraqis]. In addition, I did not approve using this kind of operation in New York and Washington, on September 11, 2001. I did not approve of these operations in the London and Madrid bombings. I sanctioned bombings and sacrifice operations for the Palestinians only – not because their enemies are Jews, but because they are occupiers, and the Palestinians cannot fight them. They kill Palestinians on a daily basis, destroy their homes, burn their fields, uproot their trees, and so on.

Al-Jazeera TV, February 18, 2008:

I denounced some contemporary religious preachers, who curse the Jews and the Christians, saying: "Allah, annihilate the Jews and the Christians." Where did this come from? There are Jews and Christians in our Muslim countries. There are Copts in Egypt, and Christians in Syria. So how can you curse them? Not only that, but they curse: "Allah, turn their children in orphans," "Allah, destroy their homes." Who sanctioned such prayers? The Koran does not call to turn children into orphans or to destroy homes. There are no such things in the prayers of the Prophet Muhammad.

I denounced some people who said that the Jews are the offspring of apes and pigs. That's not true. When God transformed some people into apes and pigs, they did not have any offspring, as is written in the Al-Muslim compilation. When God transforms people into something else, they do not have offspring. They die and are annihilated straight away. Besides, this is a curse, and Islam forbids cursing.

i cant believe this

[Yousef al Khattab]

Oh nooo what is going on here ha ? this man is begging for UK visa i cant believe this

Asalam 3leikoum wr wb,

I don't think Shaikh Yousef has to beg, I mean he is not a mental midget & his books attest to his vastness and scholarship. Maybe the bigger picture is akhi that in the 3rab world Shaikh Yousef is HUGE because of his show on Aljazeera. The fact that the most moderate scholar perhaps today is denied entry into the UK after being welcomed there before even by Govt. officials helps show the Muslim Ummah the hypocrisy of the UK Govt , and Shaikh Yousef expanding on this topic only helps at worst of building the Muslms baraa against the British Govt. and bring to light what a bunch of nagging Jews with a computer can achieve. Let us learn from these same enemies of Islam (the ones that got Dr. Yousef banned) how we to could do the same to their Scholars and promoters of genocide aka American Imperialist Capitalism.

Fiamanillah,
Akhouk Yousef

[AbuUsama]

[umar bin khatab]

Jews Are Not the Offspring of Apes and Pigs
Of course they are not offsprings of apes and pigs but surely they are brothers of apes and pigs.

[AbuUsama]

I denounced some people who said that the Jews are the offspring of apes and pigs. That's not true.

LOOL
pigs and apes are the offspring of Jews

[Middle Way]

If they exclude Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi for defending the Muslims of Palestine, so be it. I don't think it's such a heavy price to pay for speaking the truth is it? After all, the Shiekh speaks of people who have made more sacrifice with their own lives, so what of just being barred from stepping on British soil.
