#3  I don’t remember knowing that, Slavising Unineting5672. I imagine someone must know who participated in that 1988 meeting.

#2   Although he was presented as a mainstream figure, Shaykh Qaradawi is best known for his fatwa legitimating terrorist attacks in Israel; in April 2001, he defined suicide bombings as martyrdom, not suicide, suicide being forbidden by Islam. In the USA he attended meeting of senior Islamists in 1988. It was the only time he was known to have visited America. Eventually, he was 'listed' and denied entrance.
