Sunni Scholar Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi: Islamic Law Should Be Implemented Gradually in Egypt; There Should Be No Chopping Off of Hands in the First Five Years

Qaradawi is the global spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Obama and His unmerry men are negotiating with the Taliban - but they are using the "moderate" Qaradawi

as their "mediator."

I think Obama needs another Nobel Peace Prize and another term and then all "mankind" can finally be declared

clinically insane.

Then the killing can begin in earnest.

Following are excerpts from an interview with Sunni scholar Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi, which aired on Al-Nahar TV on January 26, 2012:

Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi: I think [the shari'a] should be implemented gradually. This is a law of the shari'a and a law of nature.

[…]

We should do things gradually. We should prepare the people, teach them. People have to learn. We have to make an effort to teach people the truth about Islam.

[…]

People do not understand the shari'a properly. We have to teach people the laws of the shari'a and explain them, before anything else. I think that in the first five years, there should be no chopping off of hands. This period should be dedicated to teaching things. A transitional phase… This should be a period in which we teach people the true laws of the shari'a. when we find food for all the hungry, schools for all the pupils, hospitals for all the sick, homes for all those who want them, wives for all the bachelors – then we can discuss the punishment for theft.

[…]

All the [presidential] candidates are good, but I support the candidacy of our brother Abd Al-Mun'im Abu Al-Futuh.
