The sayings of Yusuf Al-Qaradawi

13 April 2012
  • On the punishment of homosexuality by execution: "While such punishments may seem cruel, they have been suggested to maintain the purity of Islamic society and to keep it clean of perverted elements."
  • Of Palestinian attempts to make peace with Israel: "They are treason."
  • On wife-beating: It is acceptable with "the hand, but not with a stick". The wife's face "should not be a target".
  • He has condemned the Bali bombing and September 11 attacks, but praised the "martyrdom" of suicide bombings by children on behalf of Shahadah (faith).
  • Of global brands like Pizza Hut, McDonald's and KFC: "They are part of a Jewish conspiracy." His website says: "Boycott America, from Pepsi cans to Boeing."
