“Islamist extremist Yusuf al-Qaradawi hates the West, thinks the UK is decadent and supports suicide attacks against civilians. So why does he want to visit the UK? It turns out he needs some medical treatment and the evil, decadent West is the best place to get it. It never ceases to amaze me how these preachers of hate can so easily put aside their supposedly deeply held convictions when it comes to their own comforts.”
