Muslim Brotherhoods Endgame? Qaradawi Returns to Egypt

It was nearly surreal to be a veteran Ikhwan-watcher yesterday. The Drudge Report ran a headline feature from Der Spiegel on the most influential Sunni cleric in the world today, Yuself al-Qaradawi. The article was picked up on talk radio, and more of the American people got a chance to read about probably the world’s most important Muslim. At the Center for Security Policy, we’ve been following Qaradawi’s career with special interest– not just his notoriously wide-ranging fatwas and over 100 publications on Shariah, but the scandal of his involvement as a Shariah-compliant finance authority to many of the world’s biggest banks. Now, thanks to the uprising in Egypt, Americans are learning about this dangerous man.
