The man who Ken Livingstone called "one of the most authoritative Muslim scholars in the world today" who "has done most to combat socially regressive interpretations of Islam on issues like women's rights and relations with other religions"

Here's Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi speaking recently

So Ken, what do you think about Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi's stand on apostacy?

Do you still think that Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi is "one of the most authoritative Muslim scholars in the world today" who "has done most to combat socially regressive interpretations of Islam on issues like women's rights and relations with other religions"?

In case you think that maybe Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi has hardened his views recently and maybe after Ken spoke, here's the same Qaradawi from 2006

Ken Livingstone, it's so great that he's no longer London Mayor.
