Adey, no, it is not that I am being 'disingenuous'. The facts are that Shaykh 'Uthaimeen did not know who it was that made the statement and he merely pointed out the punishment for a Muslim who utters a statement such as this particularly on the pulpit.
While 'Uthaimeen was a Saudi who was on the lajnah da'eemah his opinions would have no weight on any courts in Qatar as much as a legal decision in America would in England.
PM, while you may be uncomfortable with it, Allaah sent his book and the sunnah to be utilized at a legislative tool for Muslims. And as you are aware, it was utilized in the time of Muhammad and likewise up to today.
My point in bringing this speech from Qardawi is to show that this man utters statements that should leave every Muslim with an understanding of tawheed with a mouth agape. A statement like this would never be said by an 'ulema, let alone a 'normal' person of Islaamic knowledge.
And my point to mention Shaykh 'Uthaymeen's speech was to show just how serious his statement was in regards to speaking of Allaah in ways that are not permissible for a Muslim to do.
Whether you dispute or dislike the legislative measures that have been revealed then that is for a different post in my opinion inshaAllaah.
