Regarding Qardawee then he has made many outrageous statements much worse than the ones on suicide bombings and detailed refutations of this man have already been written, such as "ar-Radd alal-Qaradaawi (Refuting Qaradawi)" of Nasir bin Hamad al-Fahad and also "Iskaat Kalb al-Aawi (Silencing the Hounding Dog)" of Shaikh Muqbil bin Haadee, and other works, both large and small in volume.

Qardawee stated in a khutba, "Before I leave this station of mine (i.e. from giving this khutbah) I love that I should say a word about the results of the Israeli elections. The Arabs, all of them, were placing their hopes in the victory of Barleen, however he lost and this is what we praise about Israel. We desire and hope that our country can be like this country. Due to only a small number of people, the one who was actually ruling lost his position. There was not 94% or 95% (of votes) which is what we are accustomed to in our country, but 99%, (yes) 99%. If Allaah had presented himself to the people as a candidate he would not have been able to take this amountÂ… we welcome Israel for what it has accomplishedÂ…"

Shaikh Ibn Uthaimeen said after Qardawee's words were played to him, "I seek refuge in Allaah. It is obligatory for this person to repent. And if he does not he should be killed as an apostate, since he made the creation more knowledgeable than the Creator. It is upon him to repent to Allaah, so if he repents, then Allaah forgives the sins of His servants. And if not then the Wullaat ul-Amr should strike his neck (with the sword)."
