The Muslim Brotherhood is making its move on Libya.
Cleric orders Gaddafi killed SKY News
Influential Muslim cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi has issued a fatwa that any Libyan soldier who can shoot dead embattled leader Muammar Gaddafi should do so 'to rid Libya of him.'
'Whoever in the Libyan army is able to shoot a bullet at Mr Gaddafi should do so,' Qaradawi, an Egyptian-born cleric who is usually based in Qatar, told Al-Jazeera television.
He also told Libyan soldiers 'not to obey orders to strike at your own people,' and urged Libyan ambassadors around the world to dissociate themselves from Gaddafi's regime.
Famous in the Middle East for his at times controversial fatwas, or religious edicts, the octogenarian Qaradawi has celebrity status in the Arab world thanks to his religious broadcasts on Al-Jazeera.
He has in the past defended 'violence carried out by certain Muslims.'
The West accuses the cleric of supporting 'terrorism' because he sanctioned Palestinian suicide attacks in Israel. Britain and the United States have refused to grant him entry visas.
The cleric, spiritual leader of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and longtime resident of Qatar, heads the International Union for Muslim Scholars.
And the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza, Hamas is rioting against Qaddafi as well:
Hundreds take to streets of Gaza to demonstrate against Gaddafi
Monsters and Critics.comGaza City - Hundreds of Gaza university students and supporters of the Hamas movement took to the streets of Gaza City Wednesday to demonstrate against Moamer Gaddafi, witnesses said.
They burned his picture, and chanted slogans against the Libyan leader, calling on him to step down after 41 years in power.
A protester said they were angered at Gaddafi, and other Arab leaders, for not doing enough to bring about Palestinian statehood.
Hamas, the Islamic movement which has administered the Gaza Strip since June 2007, condemned the violence Libyan forces have used against the demonstrators who are calling for change and the ouster of Gaddafi.
In a statement, Hamas said it 'strongly condemns the massacres, the airstrikes and the artillery fire against the Libyan people carried out by the Libyan regime.'
