Britain Plays with the Viper
Britain will not seek to expel Egyptian-born hate cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi: Britain Decides Not to Prosecute Muslim Cleric.

Arguing his case on suicide bombings on BBC television, Qaradawi said Wednesday the act was justified in certain circumstances.

“It is allowed to jeopardize your soul and cross the path of the enemy and be killed, if this act of jeopardy affects the enemy, even if it only generates fear in their hearts, shaking their morale, making them fear Muslims,” he said. “If it does not affect the enemy then it is not allowed.”

“Allah is just. Through his infinite wisdom he has given the weak what the strong do not possess, and that is the ability to turn their bodies into bombs, like the Palestinians do.”

Prime Minister Tony Blair said the Qatar-based Qaradawi would not be allowed to overstep the line, but that any case to expel the man would have to be watertight.

“We will keep it under very strict review. There are rules that have to be applied and those rules will be applied to this particular individual,” he told parliament.

Qaradawi is revered in much of the Muslim world for his intellectual rigor and ability to adapt the fundamental tenets of Islam to the modern world.
