Muslim Brotherhood Renounces Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawi

Sources in the Muslim Brotherhood movement in Egypt report that the Muslim Brotherhood General Guide's office has decided to renounce Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawi, known to be a spiritual leader of the movement.

The move came because of Al-Qaradhawi's criticism of Iran and the Shi'a (see http://www.thememriblog.org/blog_personal/en/10120.htm), and because he revealed information about the Muslim Brotherhood's international organization.
