I really hope the whole citizenship thing is off the table for Salah Soltan (Sultan), don't you? Patrick Poole reports that Soltan was recently seen at a conference, along with Hamas's Khaled Mash'al, paying tribute to Yusuf Qaradhawi: Hilliard man roasts global terrorist Qaradawi at conference in Qatar
During the conference, Sultan gave a moving tribute to his mentor Qaradawi, describing himself as a "friend and pupil". Sultan's speech appears (in Arabic) on Qaradawi's own personal website, "Pupils do not forget their teachers". Interestingly, Sultan begins his speech by describing how he has been attacked for his association with Qaradawi in "Boston, Chicago, and Ohio" and the campaign to deny him US citizenship (a story I broke last year, "Hometown Jihad: Our Newest Citizen?") and brazenly saying that "I endorse Qaradawi; especially on the position of Israel, and support of the Palestinian cause." Another paper he delivered on the "scientific and intellectual development of Qaradawi" - again, posted on Qaradawi's own website...
...It is interesting that he mentions the "Palestinian cause", because another important speaker at the conference, HAMAS leader Khaled Mash'al also praised Qaradawi for his contribution to the "Palestinian cause"...
More.
