Hitting back at last month's controversial UAE-Israeli deal, IUMS with a group of global Muslim scholars on Tuesday issued a (fatwa) forbidding normalization with the Israeli occupation.
The (Fatwa) came in a statement regarding the normalization of relations with Israel, which occupies Palestinian lands in the West Bank and the holy city of Jerusalem.
The Scholars reiterated the right of the Palestinian people to regain their lands.
“The Palestinian cause is not just a political issue, but an issue related to the Al-Aqsa Mosque,” it said.
Who is the IUMS?
It is essentially a Muslim Brotherhood group, founded by terror supporting Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi. In 2018, it was added to the list of terrorist groups by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt.
A senior Obama administration official confirmed to Fox News that members of the National Security Council staff met with a controversial Muslim scholar, but stressed that they were focused on his recent efforts to counter the Al Qaeda narrative.
The official was responding to a report on Wednesday from The Investigative Project on Terrorism, which uncovered a statement on the website of Sheikh Abdullah Bin Bayyah claiming he met June 13 with Obama administration officials at the White House.
Bin Bayyah is vice president of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, a group founded by Egyptian cleric Yusuf Qaradawi -- a Muslim Brotherhood leader who has called for the death of Jews and Americans and himself is banned from visiting the U.S.
Bin Bayyah, for his part, has urged the U.N. to criminalize blasphemy. His group has spoken out in favor of Hamas and in 2009 issued a fatwa barring "all forms of normalization" with Israel.
