From The Scotsman, with thanks to Sharon:
KEN Livingstone yesterday invited the controversial Muslim cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi back to Britain for another speaking tour.
Ignoring the growing outrage over Dr Qaradawi’s presence, the London mayor offered him a personal invitation to return for a three-day conference in October, saying it would be an “honour”.
Dr Qaradawi has been heavily criticised after describing suicide bombers as “martyrs” and for his views on homosexuals and women.
