* Guess he needs to get his hemorrhoids treated with zam-zam water in that case. But not to worry: he can always count on the French…
Qaradawi said neo-cons and the Zionist lobby were stronger than Home and Foreign Office officials who supported his visa.

CAIRO — Prominent Muslim scholar Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi has been denied a visa to get medical treatment in Britain.
“The British Embassy in Doha earlier Wednesday sent a fax to Sheikh Qaradawi informing him that his visa application for treatment has been refused,” sources close to him told IslamOnline.net.
“The fax said the application contradicts with article 41 without specifying what the article said,” they added.
Sheikh Qaradawi, the president of the International Union for Muslim Scholars, had applied for a medical visa almost a year ago.
He was discharged from the Hamad hospital in the Qatari capital Doha on Saturday, November 24, 2007, after recovering from a minor vertebral column crack he endured from a slipped disc.
Because of his illness, Qaradawi, 81, had been absent from several Islamic gatherings, the latest of which was Al-Quds International Forum in Istanbul, Turkey, earlier the same month.
Late August, Qaradawi was hospitalized in Algeria after suffering from a stomach ulcer.
Influential Lobby
The prominent Muslim scholar said the British government was divided on the visa application.
“There were differences within the British government,” he told Al-Jazeera news channel late Wednesday over the phone from Cairo.
He said the Home and Foreign Offices were in favor of giving him the visa, adding that some Home Office officials visited him at his home.
“But the there the neo-conservatives, the Zionist lobby and some right-wing media outlets.”

Click hereThis is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening.We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way...But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, write in English, try to tell the truth,
(we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for
trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.But you won't be back, trust me on that.Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

Can’t Qaradwi find a good hospital in Saudi Arabia or Egypt. I thought Muslims were the masters of medicine and they used camel urine to cure many diseases. Qaradwi should pray Allah for treatment. Allah may take him to the heaven and will wash his internal body. This is what Allah did to Mohammed. Mohammed went to heaven and met Allah and when Mohammed returned his heart was washed.
Let the pig suffer in the ummah. I can just see him getting treatment in the UK and then afterward it’s demands time. “Point my bed toward Mecca you filthy infidels”, etc.
Given all the marvelous scientific achievements Koranists have been touting I wonder why this punk needs to go to the UK for treatment anyway.
