Qaradawi Embraces Rt. Rev. Williams Call for Start of Sharia Law in Britain
By Douglas Farah
The basic, public premise of the Muslim Brotherhood's strategy for the conquest of Europe hinges on creating Muslim enclaves that are exempt from national laws and under sharia law-then steadily expanding those areas. So it is not surprising the group headed by the Muslim Brotherhood's chief theologian would embrace the call from the Archbishop of Canterbury to actually implement such a plan.
The International Union for Muslim Scholars, led by Yousef al-Qaradawi, laments the "fierce attacks" in Britain against Archbishop Rowan William's statement that sharia law could be implemented in family matters and other issues.
If one followed that logic, then the physical abuse of women could be legal in Muslim circles, as Qaradawi has gone to considerable lengths to describe how, under sharia law, a man can hit his wife, how he should not leave marks, etc.
Would honor killings then be okay if the family chose to try them under sharia law?
The main point, however, is that this opening is exactly what the Muslim Brotherhood has been seeking for some time. TRR William's ignorance of this as a cornerstone of their strategy is clear. But it does not make what he said any less damaging.
As Lorenzo Vidino pointed out in a Hudson Institute piece in 2006, since at least 1990 Qaradawi has outlined this strategy, and done so publicly.
