A video of Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi calling on the U.S. government to wage jihad for Allah in Syria is currently making the rounds on Arabic media and Facebook, to mockery and dismay.
In the recorded speech, Qaradawi—one of the most influential Islamic clerics in the world, spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, author of over 100 books on Muslim doctrine, and head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars—sarcastically thanks the U.S. for supporting the “freedom fighters” in Syria, adding that “Allah willing, your [U.S.] aid will increase.”
Then, while working himself up because the U.S is only providing weapons to the jihadis in Syria, as opposed to directly intervening, Qaradawi declares in frustration: “We want America to take a manly stand—a stand for Allah!”
Needless to say, all Muslim Brotherhood opponents in the region are pointing to this as yet more proof that Qaradawi and the Brotherhood are mercenaries who interpret jihad any which way, so long as it helps them consolidate power: otherwise, how can “infidel” America take “a stand for Allah” by waging jihad on fellow Muslims?
It should further be noted that the classic formulation of the Arabic word jihad, as in “fight,” appears in the Koran with the addition fi sabil Allah, that is, “fight in the cause of Allah.”
In other words, calling on the U.S. to strike Syria’s Bashar Assad—and calling it “a stand for Allah”—is essentially synonymous with calling on the U.S. to fight “in the cause of Allah.”
Amazingly, then, Qaradawi employs classical jihadi rhetoric to incite American leadership to action.
As one televised political commentator in Egypt discussing this anecdote put it,
Sheikh Qaradawi of course is the great and prominent Sheikh of Jihad, who issues those famous fatwas we all know of to kill and destroy on his orders. Really, the man has reached the point where he is now calling on America to wage jihad and take a stand for Allah. No comment; what’s there to say at this point?… Now jihad is being asked of America and to be waged against Muslims.
Nor is it any secret that this administration does act on the calls of Qaradawi… Keep reading

Ref to:
“We want America to take a manly stand—a stand for Allah!”

Translation … The Muslim Brotherhood needs to get on their hotline to Obama and remind him of his Muslim duty to support Jihad terrorists in their battle against infidels
mortimer says
Even when a leading jihadist speaks to them IN CLEAR LANGUAGE, Hillary, John Kerry and Obama STILL DON’T GET IT!
Are they braindead?
Salah says
They’re doing their best, mortimer, but I agree, they need to do more Jihad! sarc/off
Tzipporah says
They obviously are getting the message clearly and doing as told. Our media are also MB puppets…doing their bidding. We were brought up to trust our government and need to realize that they are not working for us, but are clearly working for the other side. They are sending our money to support the Jihad against Christians and Jews.
Mo-Blows says
If America would take a stand it should be to stand against EVERYTHING Allah and Islam stand for.
The ultimate ” Useful idiot” would be for any democratic nation to lend any support in furthering Islam.

……………………………
Why “mockery and dismay”? Just because al-Qaradawi is upfront over his desire to have American “blue-eyed slaves” do his bidding? (This was said by a high-ranking Saudi a few years ago).

This is what I’ve long said—even Obama’s appalling support for the repulsive Muslim Brotherhood isn’t enough—really, they’d like us to not only oust Assad for them, but to destroy Israel for them as well.
Why aren’t the foolish Kuffar even easier to manipulate? How frustrating for pious Muslims like Al-Qaradawi…

Yes, but this is stupid. Muslims have long done this—Jihadists in Libya were fine with accepting a “no fly zone” and other aid from the US in ousting Gadaffi—not that this prevented them from slaughtering the US ambassador and his staff a couple of months later; Pakistan accepts large amounts of “foreign aid” while only pretending to fight Jihad terror; “Mujahideen” in Afghanistan took US aid in their Jihad against the Soviet Union; the Saudis took US sacrifices to safeguard them from Saddam Hussein; Arab Muslims accepted British aid in their Jihad against the Ottomans.
Sure, there are some pious Muslims who won’t deal with the “filthy Infidels” at all—but I believe they are a minority. Most of them will milk the foolish Kuffar for all they’re worth.
As for Al-Qaradawi being explicit about this being the waging of Jihad for Allah, I believe this is just a twist on the all-too-common “calling to Islam”.
kikorikid says
I see it as Taqiyya to allow infidels to do the fighting.
Infidels fighting Muslims is always preferable to
Muslim v. Muslim . I do enjoy it so when Hezbullah
gets together with Al-Queada for lunch.

America has helped Islam over Christians and the rest, for most of the last 40 years. They helped Indonesia to subjugate East Timor. They helped the Bosnians against Serbia. They helped Pakistan against India, even as millions of Bangladeshis were being killed. And America supported the Islamist drug running prostitution criminal gang of the KLA, to set up yet another Muslim state in Europe.
What Qaradawi has stated is undiplomatic, as he has let the cat out of the bag.

“What Qaradawi has stated is undiplomatic, as he has let the cat out of the bag.”
The TRUTH is being expressed by MB, Hamas, Abbas, etc It is time for more people to wake up to the mess we are in.

Obama’s brother has a website to get donations for Terror.

He is definitely not working for us. Why is he still our President?
