The bigot-Sheik is PO'd about Christmas Trees in Muslim lands. He's got a bug up his ass about the Swiss minaret ban (no need for lengthy comment on that, the man is an utter hypocrite), and he think Obama shouldn't have gotten the Nobel (broken clock, etc...)
MEMRI has video and a transcript of the latest rant: Sheikh Al-Qaradhawi on Christmas Celebrations in Muslim Countries: 'I Wanted To Warn My People That This Is Prohibited, Shameful, And Inappropriate... Ignorance Of What Islam Obliges Us To Do...;'
In a recent Friday sermon from Qatar by Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi, he condemned Christmas celebrations in Muslim countries, saying that they were forbidden and stating that the Muslim nation is abandoning its Muslim identity. He also commented on President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize, calling it undeserved...
Meanwhile, back in America, Rabbi Jonathan Miller says he believes in Santa Claus: We all have the chance to be a Santa Claus
My dear friends, I am a rabbi, and I do not celebrate Christmas. I will leave that for Christians.
I do not believe that the God of the universe begat a son, born to a virgin mother in a manger on a cold December night. I do not sing "Silent Night."
There are plenty of Christians who believe that their Lord Jesus was born in a manger on a cold night, and this has galvanized their faith and transformed our world. They sing "Silent Night."
May God bless my Christian brothers in faith -- even though we believe differently, we are still brothers in faith -- during their holy time.
So even though I don't celebrate Christmas or believe in Jesus, I do believe in Santa Claus...
Contrasts.
"hypocrite), and he think Obama shouldn't have gotten the Nobel (broken clock, etc...)"
The broken clock that is right twice a day?
I agree, as many others do, that giving Obama a Nobel Peace Prize is premature, at this time.
Yes, as in "is right twice a day." Does anyone other than the Nobel Committee actually think that award was appropriate?
After the speech he gave, I suspect that even the Nobel Committee no longer think that award was appropriate :)
