The leader of the Muslim group who defended ISIS executioner Mohammed Emwazi has sparked further outrage after he refused to condemn the stoning women . Asim Qureshi , the director of Cage , was last night quizzed about extremist positions advocated by Muslim scholars - including female genital mutilation , domestic violence and stoning as a punishment for adultery .

It comes after he defended the London-raised fanatic Emwazi - unmasked as the infamous fanatic 'Jihadi John ' - as a 'beautiful , kind man ' . Scroll down for video . Asim Qureshi , the hard-line leader of the Muslim rights group Cage , which defended ISIS executioner Jihadi John last week , has sparked further outrage after repeatedly refusing to condemn the stoning women . Pressed by Andrew Neil , the show 's presenter , to condemn a series of extreme positions , including claims that Jews are descended from pigs and homosexuality is evil , Mr Qureshi responded ' I 'm not a theologian ' 2006 : 'When we see Hezbollah defeating the armies of Israel , we know where the solution is and where the victory lies . 'We know that it is incumbent upon all of us , to support the Jihad of our brothers and sisters in these countries when they are facing the oppression of the West . February 26 , 2015 : Mohammed Emwazi was an “ extremely gentle , kind , beautiful young man ' . He was “ extremely kind , extremely gentle and the most humble young person I ever knew ” . March 3 , 2015 : 'What we want is to understand whether or not the security agencies , their actions , led to him feeling like he does not belong to UK society . That is it . We never said there is a direct causality. ” . March 5 , 2015 : `` Jihad is part of the religion of Islam . '' Pressed by Andrew Neil , the show 's presenter , to condemn a series of extreme positions , including claims that Jews are descended from pigs and homosexuality is evil . He responded ' I 'm not a theologian ' before adding : ' I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about . ' Mr Neil accused Mr Qureshi of advocating Jihad and Sharia law . Mr Qureshi responded : 'As far as I am concerned , Sharia law is n't practised correctly anywhere in the world . Jihad is part of the religion of Islam . ' He repeated his criticism of MI5 and the security services , claiming they helped to radicalise young Muslim men by mistreating them . Former Home Secretary Alan Johnson said his remarks showed 'what we are up against in terms of the 'moderate front ' . The exchange came after London Mayor Boris Johnson accused Mr Qureshi of being an apologist for terror . Mr Qureshi last week described London-raised fanatic Emwazi – accused of being the infamous 'Johadi John ' in the ISIS beheading videos - as an 'extremely kind ' and 'extremely gentle ' man who had been radicalised as a result of harassment by security agencies . The Cage research director said he believed the approach taken by the agents was ' a factor in the reason why he felt like he did n't belong in the UK any more ' . Mr Johnson responded : ' I really , really think that the focus of your indignation and outrage should be on people who go out to join groups that throw gays off cliffs , that behead people who do n't subscribe to their version of Islam , that glorify in the execution of innocent journalists and aid workers . Mr Qureshi – who last week described the British fanatic Mohammed Emwazi unmasked as Jihadi John , as a 'beautiful young man ' - . 'These should be the object of your wrath , not the security services who are trying to keep us safe . ' Mr Qureshi , 33 , has revealed the he became 'anti-white ' at the £18,000-a-year Whitgift School in Croydon , south London , which he attended as a child . The controversial campaign chief was born in Britain to Pakistani parents and – thanks to his mother 's ice-cream business – was sent to 400-year-old Whitgift . Jihadi John 's sister is 'living in fear ' after receiving death threats , a close friend said today . Student Shayma Emwazi , 23 , has been tracked and abused on Facebook , forcing her to close her account . She and the rest of Emwazi 's family are now living under police protection in a secret location after Mohammed Emwazi was unmasked as Jihadi John . A friend of Shayma told the Evening Standard : 'They are struggling to live a normal life . 'Shayma came back from holiday not too long ago to all of this drama which occurred overnight . She does not deserve to be blamed for her brother 's evil actions . 'The only thing she and Mohammed have in common is that they are blood , but she is not a terrorist . '
