He's written a letter to the satirical rag saying that the Qaradawi's statements have been misquoted and deliberately distorted by taking advantage of the fact people don't speak Arabic - does he? Yet the crux of his complaint is that really it's all just disinformation by those pesky Jews in Israel. Yes that's right, it's just a Mossad lie all those things Qaradawi has said about infidels and sodomites, all designed to discredit a lovely honest and moderate man you see.
As the response from Private Eye points out, are all those official Islamic websites that praise Qaradawi's misquoted comments just Mossad outposts too? Soon he'll be suggesting that Islamism is just a construction of the Israeli state and all those loonies running around blowing themselves up are really puppets of the great Zionist domination of the world. Damn those evil Jews and their black hearts!

So Red Ken has been reading the Protocols of Zion, maybe he will start showing that old nazi favorite on the "Evil Jew."
But.... Ken is normally such an intelligent and thoughtful man... oh no, hang on. I was thinking of Ken Dodd.
I particularily like the allegation by Ken that the former intelligence officer
" selectively translates and quotes the views etc etc ..in a way which tends to discredit them"
Errm. Not a bit in any way like completely disecting and misrepresenting Boris then?
Dizzy, Without wishing to sound difficult, but there is a bit of a cultural issue here.
I can't comment on what Yusaf al-Qaradawi said or meant though obviosly as he consorts wit Red Ken, he can't be that brilliant, but having spoken Arabic as a next to near native language I would not trust the organisations that regularly trash speachs made in Arabic. (that said I may have to go back and re learn).
Arabic is full of expressions which literally translated are frankly odd, like bookra fillmishmish (roughly tomorrow {bookra} when the peaches are in blossom, I.E forget it. English is the same. What does British Jobs for British Workers mean? Does it mean we string up the Jews?
If you really want to understand what is being said in Arabic, learn Arabic, don't trust a mad eyed fanatic who is trying to convince you the Koran is trying to say kill Jews, or an Israeli organisation that has another agenda.
But then, if you were paying attention in history lessons, you would know that.
