According to the Middle East Media Research Institute, Sunni Islamic scholar Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi recently delivered a sermon on Qatari TV. Here’s part of what he said:
A few days ago, a Muslim asked me if we were allowed to possess WMDs — nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. I said to him: “Yes, we must possess such weapons, but not use them.” We must possess such weapons in order to strike terror in our enemies–“Strike terror in the hearts of the enemies,” and frighten them.
Obviously, the sermon must have been delivered prior to the Obama administration’s decision that terrorist acts are no longer to be called terrorist acts, but rather “man-caused disasters.”
Just as obviously, this new terminology will cause twisting of both logic and tongues. Because if the act is now called a “man-caused disaster,” what do you call the person who commits the act?
A man-caused disaster-er?
