Ken’s friend Qaradawi is no moderate

One of the many good things about Ken Livingstone’s defeat in the London mayoral election is that Islamic extremists will no longer be feted at City Hall. One person who should never have been invited and praised by the Mayor was Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who was not—as Livingstone claimed—someone “who preaches moderation and tolerance to all faiths throughout the world” but a preacher with vile views. Stephen links to a review, which I’d thoroughly recommend, of Qaradawi’s book which shows just how wrong Livingstone was about him.
