Latest Blow to Brotherhood: Sheikh Qaradawi Evicted from Qatar, Brotherhood Offices Closed

Well, the Brotherhood sure seems to be taking some licks, but they are heavily entrenched within the Sunni realm and unfortunately, in many Western societies.  The question to my mind is, will they fight like rabid rats or pull back to regroup.  My guess is that many will fight on like trapped animals similar to the Sunnis in Iraq.  In other words, the tried and true Muslim response to any adversity: violence and lots of it.

The good side of this is of course that as long as Muslims are killing other Muslims, they have less energy to fight the grand jihad against the West.

Qaradawi: how the mighty are fallen

The spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, for long one of the most authoritative voices in Sunni Islam — and certainly a “radical,” who, among other things, insists Muslims must always “obey the prophet, even if he tells you to kill” — has just had his Qatari citizenship revoked and told to leave Qatar by its emir, Tamim bin Hamd bin al-Khalifa, in light of events in Egypt, specifically the overthrow of the Brotherhood and Morsi.  Qaradawi has lived in Qatar for years, as he was exiled from Egypt under Mubarak for inciting terrorism.  The emir has also ordered the closure of all Muslim Brotherhood offices in Qatar, adding “We are all Muslims [here], but we are not Muslim Brothers [i.e., of the Brotherhood].”  Here, then, is yet another blow to the Muslim Brotherhood.
