"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. Campaigners have repeatedly highlighted the dangers of Al Qaradawi’s web and social media presence for creating extremists. 'What makes Qaradawi unique from other extremists are the ways in which his presence is condoned by social media, specifically through Facebook and Twitter’s verified user checkmark,' said Counter-Extremism Project researcher Joshua Fisher-Birch earlier this year."
