Qatar - Yousuf al-Qaradawi, one of the most important Sunni
clerics in the world, boycotted an interfaith conference hosted by the
International Union of Muslim Scholars in Doha, Qatar, on Tuesday because of
the presence of Jewish participants, according to the country’s Al Arab daily.
“I decided not to participate so I would not sit with Jews
on the same platform as long as they are raping Palestine and destroying
mosques, and as long as the Palestinian issue has not been resolved,” said
Qaradawi, who is the chairman of the International Union of Muslim Scholars.
He went on to state that he was following Allah’s words “not
to argue with the People of the Book [Jews and Christians],” and added, “There
is nothing more unjust than what the Jews have done to our people in
Palestine.”
The Muslim Brotherhood greatly respects Qaradawi’s opinions.
He is also known for his show on Al Jazeera called Sharia and Life and his
website IslamOnline.
