Qaradawi Threatens Legal Action Against French Hijab Ban

Question:

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Only a low-life loathesome despicable fanatical hate-mullah like Qaradawi could work himself into a big snit about women’s veils, while having no problem with vile immoral criminal suicide terrorist attacks!  This only shows how Islam has actually deteriorated in recent years: — The consensus of traditional mainstream Islamic legal interpretation had strict rules of war, which forbade almost all forms of terrorism (such as intentionally seeking to harm non-combatants). At that time, the word shahid ("martyr") meant someone dying in a battle for Islam — including someone who engaged in a bold military charge or last stand, in which coming through alive might seem almost hopeless, but not including anyone committing any direct and immediate act of suicide, and most definitely NOT including anyone who targeted civilians as part of his death-struggle!  However, nowadays numerous self-appointed Islamic legal "authorities" of modern Jihadi ideology (such as Qaradawi) seem to be eager to discard these prohibitions of traditional Islamic legal doctrine, in their unseemly rush to try to justify and legitimize suicide terrorism attacks.  Since they have thus jettisoned what little universalism or religion-neutral "natural law" there ever was in Islam, in pursuit of their transient and ephemeral political passions, it seems that Islam has changed for the worse.  So if Islamists perversely glory in and enthusiastically celebrate the blatant raw naked immorality of the suicide terrorism attacks against civilians which their own side commits in violation of all norms of international law and human-rights protection, then they’re flagrant and transparent hypocrites when they noisily demand that their enemies obey the highest and strictest of ethical standards.  If the only standard of right and wrong in modern Islam is that whatever is claimed to be done in the service of Islam or Muslims is necessarily and inherently "right" (regardless of the means used or the harm caused), then Islam is becoming a mere supremacist immoralist death-worshiping cult, and not a religion which is truly worthy of anyone’s respect (like any ideology which flaunts its blatant violations of basic universal morality).

Well put indeed. .
