[Mehr News Agency] Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi has criticized Sunni holy man Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi
...Egyptian Islamic theologian and teevee preacher, well-known for IslamOnline, a website he helped found in 1997 and for which he now serves as chief religious scholar. Al-Qaradawi has also published more than 80 books, including Islam: The Future Civilization. He is considered one of the most influential Mohammedan Brotherhood scholars living today. Al-Qaradawi is banned from entering the United States, Israel and Great Britain. In 2004, 2,500 Mohammedan academics from Soddy Arabia, Iraq and Paleostine accused him of giving Islam a bad name. ...
for his discriminatory remarks about the popular uprising in Bahrain.
Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi said it is surprising that Qaradawi who had supported uprising in Egypt has said pro-democracy movement in Bahrain "should b suppressed".
A religious scholar should not make such discriminatory remarks, the ayatollah said.
"How can an open-minded religious scholar make such remarks? The meaning of the statement by Mr. Qaradawi is that we make discrimination between Mohammedans," Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi told theology students on Wednesday.
"Qaradawi supports uprising in Egypt, and war in Libya but when it comes to Bahrain he defends dictatorship."
The ayatollah said both Shias and Sunnis are involved in the protests in Bahrain.
"The uprising by the Bahraini people is not restricted to Shias because all Bahraini people have risen up (against dictatorship) and even Sunni Learned Elders of Islam have issued statement in support of this popular uprising."
