"Diversity" and "Inclusivity" at Obama's White House Means Saying Howdy to a Qaradawi Factotum

Don't worry. I'm pretty sure he's one of those "moderate" members of the Muslim Brotherhood:
Radical Egyptian cleric Yusuf Qaradawi is considered so radical that the United States bans him from entering the country. 
Qaradawi, considered the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood movement, has called for the killing of Jews and Americans. 
That history makes the June 13 White House meeting with Sheik Abdullah Bin Bayyah all the more inexplicable. Bin Bayyah is vice president of the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), a group founded by and headed by Qaradawi. The IUMS has a long history of supporting Hamas -a top Hamas leader is an IUMS member - and of calling for Israel's destruction. 
Bin Bayyah's website claims that he met June 13 with senior Obama administration officials at the White House. 
Nonetheless, it was the Obama administration which sought the meeting with Bin Bayyah, his website's account said. 
"We asked for this meeting to learn from you and we need to be looking for new mechanisms to communicate with you and the Association of Muslim Scholars (another name used for the IUMS)," Gayle Smith, senior director of the National Security Council, reportedly said...
Mechanisms for dhimmitude, more like.
