Yusuf al-Qaradawi
Yusuf al-Qaradawi was described by The Guardian as a "controversial Islamic scholar", who said that "suicide bombs are a duty". Asked by the BBC about suicide attacks, Yusuf al-Qaradawi replied: "It's not suicide, it is martyrdom in the name of God". In another interview with Qatar network Al-Jazeera, IUMS's leader said "our wish should be that we carry out Jihad to death". The Times of Israel revealed that Yusuf al-Qaradawi publicly supported terrorist attacks against civilians, while Irish media called him the "theologian of terror".
