Al-Qaradawi Expelled from Kuwait
Qatar-based Egyptian cleric Yusuf Al-Qaradawi has left Kuwait after being asked to leave due to the "divisive remarks" that he has been accused of inciting "violence and bloodshed," Al-Manar reported.
Al-Qaradawi was in Kuwait to attend the fourth annual meeting of the International Islamic Charitable Organization (IICO), the Islam Times reported.
According to the reports, Kuwaiti MP Abdullah al-Tamimi criticized IICO Chairman Abdullah Al-Maatouqand and called for the expulsion of several of the people invited to the meeting, including Al-Qaradawi, for what he called their lack of neutrality on Islam.
Al-Qaradawi has faced much criticism and a political backlash in recent months, especially from Persian Gulf countries.
