| Muslims will unite against American strike on Afghanistan |
| 2001-09-21 |
A top Islamic cleric has warned that Muslims will unite against the United States if it carries out its threats to strike Afghanistan in retaliation for last week's suicide attacks on U.S. landmarks. "We warn America that all the Muslim world will unite against it if it acts on its whims and its haughty drive to hit innocent people," Sheikh Youssef al-Qardawi, a widely respected Egyptian cleric based in Qatar, said. "Many leaders may submit to U.S. tyranny and threats, but the people will not submit. America will not frighten the people, they will not be scared off by its military arsenal, nuclear weapons or economic might because they believe in God," he said in a sermon aired on Qatar-based al-Jazeera television. |
