Al-Qaradawi’s Support for US Invasion of Syria Described as Treacherous
An Egyptian political figure described Yusuf Al-Qaradawi’s support for a possible US aggression on Syria as treacherous.
Hamed Jabr, a senior member of Egypt’s Al-Karama Party said that by backing a likey American attack on Syria during his Friday prayers sermon, president of the International Union of Muslim Scholars Yusuf Al-Qaradawi insulted Syria as he had previously insulted Egypt.
He said what Al-Qaradawi did was treachery adding that Islam does not approve of welcoming aggressors and occupiers.
Former Egyptian presidential candidate Abul-Izz Al-Hariri, too, regarded Al-Qaradawi’s move as un-Islamic and rooted in his ignorance about religious and political issues.
Al-Qaradawi, the Egyptian born Mufti of Qatar, in his Friday prayers sermon in Doha supported military intervention in Syria and claimed that foreign forces are a means sent by God for taking revenge from the killers of hundreds in Syria.
In other news, Syria’s foreign ministry issued a statement on Friday dismissing allegations by US intelligence agencies about a chemical attack on the Riff district in Damascus.
Meanwhile, Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Anders Fogh Rasmussen said direct participation of NATO forces in a military attack on Syria would be unlikely.
Rasmussen claimed, however, that the Syrian government has “undoubtedly” used chemical weapons.
