The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said that it deplored the decision and accused the Government of caving in to “unreasonable demands spearheaded by the Tory leader”.

Muhammad Abdul Bari, the Secretary-General of the MCB, said that Dr al-Qaradawi enjoyed respect as a scholar throughout the Muslim world. “I am afraid this decision will send the wrong message to Muslims everywhere about the state of British society and culture,” he said.

The British Muslim Initiative (BMI) described the decision to bar al-Qaradawi, an “eminent scholar”, as “an unwarranted insult to British Muslims”. Muhammad Sawalha, the BMI president, said: “We would have to go as far back as the medieval age when scholars were hounded and vilified in order to find a similar retrograde decision.”

Yet despite their outrage, a far smaller, organised group of Zionists managed to get Qaradawi banned. This was not missed by Qaradawi himself who said, "The Zionist lobby placed huge pressures to block the visa application and Prime Minister Gordon Brown eventually backed that position."

Both groups have failed to mobilise hundreds of their associated mosques or demand more of the very groups they represent, some of which are the most disgracefully backward and incompetent. Blackburn’s backward puppet leaders could mobilise for the then Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw but refused to do anything for Qaradawi.

So-called self-proclaimed ‘emirs’ who run the student Islamic societies, often as backward as Mosque Leaders who run our mosques, also fail to do anything. Most did not mention anything of the campaign against Qaradawi. The very people who claimed to love the scholars were, hypocritically, the least active in helping the great man.

In a fax from the British embassy in Doha, his application was refused, reportedly citing Article 41 of the United Nations Charter, which relates to threats to peace and security.

Qaradawi’s visit prompted protests from Jewish groups and gay people, who regard him as anti-Semitic and homophobic. He has called for the death penalty for homosexuality and the destruction of the state of Israel. In the same year, the cleric defended suicide attacks on Israelis during a BBC interview, saying, “It’s not suicide, it is martyrdom in the name of God." He added that it did not matter if women and children were the victims of such attacks.

The ‘no politics’ group of Britain, the Hizb, helped Israel’s hand in making sure the pro-Israel lobby were not countered in Parliament as Muslims pathetically remained debating minor points of fiqh while those sought to block their leaders from entering the country plotted.

Last week, Mr Cameron clashed with Gordon Brown in the Commons over Dr al-Qaradawi, as he described him as “dangerous and divisive”, and called on the Government not to let him into the country.

“Two months ago I identified and named specifically in this house a number of preachers of hate who should not be allowed into this country," said Mr Cameron. “Will you confirm that the Government has accepted this as well and won’t be allowing Yusuf al-Qaradawi into Britain - yes or no?”

Mr Brown refused to issue a snap decision on the visa application, saying it would be announced “very soon” and insisting that proper judicial processes had to be followed.

To Tory jeers, Mr Brown replied, “In 2006 a decision was made not to exclude him. We are looking at that again. He has applied to come into this country. A decision will be made in due course. It has to go through the proper judicial processes. But he has not been allowed into this country at this stage.”

Today David Davis, the Shadow Home Secretary, welcomed the visa ruling. "Not before time the Government has finally acted after pressure from David Cameron," he said. “The Government's approach to preachers of hate has been at best timid and at worst downright useless. Now it is time for them to take a robust approach across the board."

MPACUK want to congratulate the Muslim Leaders of Britain for doing such a great job for Qaradawi. MPACUK would also like to offer our sincere condolences. We wanted better leaders - we tried, but so far we have failed.
