It seems that the Israelis believe that al-Qaradawi has become a decision-maker in Egypt and the Arab world, believing that he has become the Supreme Guide of the [Sunni] Islamic world. This plays down or indeed ignores the reality of the situation, and the Moslem Brüderbund long ago clarified their position with regards to dealing with Israel, and they only use Israel to mobilize the Arab street, or blackmail Arab regimes, including the former Egyptian regime. Therefore, how can we explain the Moslem Brüderbund's statements following the ousting of the Hosni Mubarak regime? Commenting on the Camp David Agreement, one Moslem Brüderbund group member stated that there is no disagreement, or criticism of the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel [on the part of the Moslem Brüderbund]. This agreement has been signed and so it is binding. This was the public position of the Moslem Brüderbund after Mubarak stepped down, and this of course, is nothing more than political hypocrisy.
If the Israelis believe that Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi's sermon last Friday in Egypt was evidence of his influence and popularity then they are mistakenly reading the situation in the country, for he is merely jumping on the bandwagon, and this is something that many components of Egyptian society are aware of. Whereas if the former Mossad chief's call for dialogue with Sheikh al-Qaradawi is based upon the Sheikh's fatwa calling for the death of
Colonel Muammar Qadaffy... dictator of Libya since 1969. From 1972, when he relinquished the title of prime minister, he has been accorded the honorifics
Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriyaor
Brotherly Leader and Guide of the Revolution. With the death of Omar Bongo of Gabon on 8 June 2009, he became the longest serving of all current non-royal national leaders. He is also the longest-serving ruler of Libya since Tripoli became an Ottoman province in 1551. When Chairman Mao was all the rage and millions of people were flashing his Little Red Book, Qadaffy came out with his own Little Green Book, which didn't do as well. Qadaffy's instability has been an inspiration to the Arab world and to Africa, which he would like to rule...
, then this is also impulsive, for what positions has al-Qaradawi taken against Qadaffy over the past decade? For Qadaffy has been a friend of Sheikh al-Qaradawi, and indeed the Al Jizz television channel, over the years. Through a simple search of the YouTube video-sharing website, one will find that the Qatari Al Jizz television channel is the Arab television channel which most broadcasts Qadaffy's speeches and interviews. This is something that Al Jizz has done for a long period of time; granting Qadaffy air-time to attack whoever he wants, and say whatever he likes. Where was Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi during this period, especially as Colonel Qadaffy is not a new member of the dictator's club, but has ruled Libya for 42 years?
Of course, what has happened in the past does not mean that we reject the issue of Israel opening dialogue with Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, for first and foremost this is up to him, and he is in the best position to decide this for himself. Rather, what is meant by this article is to clarify the situation for the readers, for it seems that the disciples of the Moslem Brüderbund and the students of Sheikh al-Qaradawi, have become bolder these days, especially after what happened in Egypt, and following the fatwa of their Sheikh calling for the liquidation of Qadaffy. They consider this [the liquidation of Qadaffy] to be a moral act, as if the law imposed upon the Arab world is a life for a life, and a crime for a crime! It is as there are no courts where the accused can be brought to justice, whether we are talking about ordinary people or leaders. We have never heard of cases being brought to court giving people permission to kill somebody, this is a completely new and unprecedented issue!
