A controversial mobile app launched by the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood is continuing to be promoted despite calls for it to be banned.
The Euro Fatwa App was created by the European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR), which was founded by Yusuf Al Qaradawi – a Qatar-based figure who has previously been dubbed “a terrorist” and banned from the US, UK and France for his extremist views.
It contains an introduction by Al Qaradawi, now 93, in which he makes derogatory references to Jews while speaking about historic fatwas.
The free app, which claims it is suitable for ages four and upwards, was initially downloadable on Google and Apple.
On learning of its content, Google took the step of banning it within hours.
“While we can’t comment on individual apps, we’ll take swift action against any apps that break our policies once we’ve been made aware of them, including those that contain hate speech,” a statement said.
Meanwhile, three days after being alerted to its content, Apple is still continuing to allow consumers access to it.
Its guidelines require that apps do not contain upsetting or offensive content and it told The National it is still reviewing it.
