Al-Qaradhawi Refuses To Sign Document Ending Dispute With Shi'ia

Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawi has refused to sign a joint communiqué with an Iranian delegation visiting Qatar that would end a dispute that broke out following his criticism of the Shi'a.

Al-Qaradhawi said that he would not sign the document as long as the Iranians did not undertake to prevent attempts to spread the Shi'a in the Sunni world (see "Muslim Brotherhood Renounces Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawi").
