Here is an excerpt from a 10 point critique aimed at Al-Qaradawi, a controversial cleric that promotes killing all Jews in Israel since he considers them occupying soldiers. This is the same guy the Mayor of London called a great man of peace. <<Al-Qaradawi supports targeting Israeli civilians. Sheikh Mohammad Sayyed Tantawi, sheikh of Cairo's al-Azhar University, is reported as saying that Islamic Shari'a law "rejects all attempts on human life, and in the name of Shari'ah we condemn all attacks on civilians, whatever the community or state responsible for such an attack ... We disapprove of all those who justify attacks against children by reasoning that the children will join the army when they grow up." Qaradawi, however, angrily disagreed. He argued: "Has fighting colonizers become a criminal and terrorist act for some sheikhs?" He added that Israeli society "was completely military in its make-up and did not include any civilians". In Israel, "men and women are soldiers", added al-Qaradawi. "They are all occupying soldiers." See: islamonline.org Qaradawi supports suicide bombing (including by women). "Thus, women's participation in the martyr operations carried out in Palestine - given the status of the land as an occupied territory, in addition to a lot of sacrilegious acts perpetrated by the Jews against the sanctuaries - is one of the most praised acts of worship."
