» Tuesday, July 19, 2005Al Qaradawi
Asked if Yusef al-Qaradawi would be coming to the UK, the PMOS said that it was a decision to be made by the Home Secretary who would take advice from a variety of departments, including the Security Services, FCO, CPS and the police. It went without saying that the decision would be taken in the proper way. Put to him that allowing people like Mr al-Qaradawi to visit the UK might be helpful inasmuch as it would expose their arguments to democratic debate, the PMOS said that the Prime Minister was not afraid to take on the arguments. That was precisely why he was talking to representatives from the Muslim community today. However, he did not want to argue the case on his own. He believed it was important to harness the view of the moderate Muslim community to argue the case amongst themselves.
