Middle East Centre for Women’s Rights on Qaradawi’s visit

“Before the war on Iraq, the Middle East Centre for Women’s Rights warned that ‘this war will promote political Islam and will strengthen the Islamic terrorism’. They will find a fertile ground to grow, to spread their misogynist polices under the name of ‘protecting Islam’. All this, thanks to left British parties which gave them the microphone and the stage to scream ‘Allah o Akbar’ in Hyde Park. Thanks to Ken Livingstone who rewarded their voices in the mayoral elections by hosting their conferences on ‘defending the Hijab’ and promoting ‘Islamic Family Law’ in the ‘Muslim Community’.”

Another Islamophobic rant from the Worker Communist Party of Iraq.
