The influential Islamic leader, Yusef Qaradawi, has called on all Muslims to defend Iran in the case of a U.S. attack, according to the Gulf Times.

 

Gulf Times reports that Qaradawi, in an interview on IslamOnline Radio, said “It is obligatory on all Muslims to resist any possible attack the US might launch against Iran. Iran is a Muslim country which all Muslims should defend while the US is an enemy of Islam that has already declared war on Islam under the disguise of war on terrorism and provides Israel with unlimited support.”

 

Is the City of Boston listening? Qaradawi, spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, was once listed on IRS forms as one of four directors of the Islamic Society of Boston, and appeared in a 2002 fundraising video for the new sprawling mosque complex built in the neighborhood of Roxbury. After Boston Herald articles about Qaradawi’s unsavory views, the Islamic Society of Boston defended Qaradawi on its website as a “leading Muslim scholar.”

 

In 1995, Qaradawi told followers, "We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America."

 

And Qaradawi’s new call to arms against the U.S. would certainly seem to put many American Muslims in a delicate situation.
