Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi—one of the most influential Islamic clerics in the world, author of over 100 books on Muslim doctrine, head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, and spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood—has just posted a new video where he calls on all the Muslims of the world to come and wage jihad with their lives in Egypt on behalf of “what’s right”—that is, the return to power of the Muslim Brotherhood. He called on everyone and anyone—the “sons of Al Azhar,” businessmen, journalists—and from all around the world, specifically mentioning Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Senegal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Tunisia, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan.

Qaradawi called on them to be shuhada, “martyrs” who sacrifice their lives in the course of the jihad. Several Egyptian religious authorities have expressed surprise at Qaradawi’s reckless call for jihad in Egypt, saying the latter is not part of Dar al-Harb (Abode of War) where jihad should be waged to bring non-Muslims under Islamic authority, but rather is part of the Islamic world, where Islamic authorities like Qaradawi should be calling for peace, not promoting more bloodshed between Muslims. Amana Nasir, professor of doctrine and philosophy and former dean of humanities in the Alexandrian branch of Al Azhar called Qaradawi’s remarks products of “senility, not wisdom,” adding that “I’m surprised that Qaradawi sealed his life with such words void of understanding."

The extreme dislike in Egypt for U.S. ambassador Anne Patterson — widely seen as a Muslim Brotherhood stooge — continues to manifest itself.

Youm 7, a popular newspaper in Egypt (the sixth most accessed website in the nation according to Alexa), conducted a survey this morning asking its readers "Do you support the call to kick U.S. Ambassador Anne Patterson out because she interfered in Egyptian affairs?"

A whopping 87.93% said yes, 10.54% said no, and 1.53% were indifferent.

Considering that Youm 7's audience are secular-leaning, this further validates the notion that it is the moderates of Egypt that dislike the U.S. ambassador– not the Islamists, who benefit from her.

Moreover, the latest pro-Brotherhood accusation that is being leveled against Patterson is that she is the main source that has led the Western media to portray the June 30 Revolution — which was supported, and continues to be supported, by millions of Egyptians — as an illegal military coup.

According to recent statements by Egyptian journalist Abdullah al-Sanawi made on live TV, "Anne Patterson's presence in Egypt has become a great burden for America, and Patterson should be admitted into a mental hospital for her deeds are full of bloodshed and the Obama administration is in a very awkward position in front of the whole world, the [U.S.] Congress and the Pentagon."
