Asim Qureshi, director of Muslim rights group CAGE, was asked about
views advocated by an Islamic scholar he had described as a
mentor. These included positions of female genital mutilation, domestic
violence and stoning women as punishment for adultery.
When he was pushed to take a stance
during the programme aired yesterday the CAGE director added: “I have
absolutely no idea what you are talking about”. Mr Neil accused Mr
Qureshi of using “weasel words” and claimed that the Muslim activist had
before spoken in favor of Sharia law and Jihad.
When questioned repeatedly about these
views on BBC’s This Week programme by presenter Andrew Neil Mr Qureshi
refused to condemn the opinions. Others extreme positions he refused to
condemn included horrifying claims that Jews are descended from pigs and
that homosexuality is evil.
The CAGE director responded: “As far
as I am concerned, Sharia law isn’t practiced correctly anywhere in the
world. “Jihad is part of the religion of Islam.”
