They can take their fatwa and stick it where the sun doesn't shine. The terrorists and pro-terrorists will be crashed regardless.
Gosh, I'm so relieved to know that one of these mullahs MUST be sincere about the fatwah giving US Muslim soldiers permission to pound Afghanistan and beyond, because he has the impeccable credentials of approving Palestinian suicide bombers. Does anyone else see anything wrong with this picture?
"Muslim Scholars Back Fight Against Terrorists"
The real source of 'terrorism' are found in the words of the Koran. All of this is just diabolical 'spin'. When members of the worlds largest religion enter the presence of their 'higher power' five times a day and then rise up to drive the infidels out of the middle-east what does that tell you about Allah?
I can't believe the replies so far to this article. Guys, this is really good news. You people don't seem to understand that a good portion of any battle is for the hearts and minds of people. We've just had well-respected Muslim scholars clearly point out that Bin Laden and his goonies are outright criminals not only according to OUR laws, but also according to Islamic law as well. And your response is to insult the people who (under potentially great pressure from bigots in their own society, I might add) are HELPING us?????! I'm glad not all Americans or like this, or I might start to believe a bit of bin Laden's propaganda against us...
Another brief comment here. From what I've heard, bin Laden's fatwas don't count for diddly squat, because he isn't the real article in terms of Muslim theological credentials. THESE guys, apparently, have genuine authority.
Translation: we've got a REAL fatwa, and bin Laden's isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
Like I said, this is good news.
