The Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America (AMJA) opposes offensive jihad in the West, but for reasons that may surprise you. In an Arabic fatwa (religious decree) that doesn’t appear on its English website, it states that “the Islamic community does not possess the strength to engage in offensive jihad at this time [emphasis added].”
This doesn’t mean that all jihad is to be abandoned. “With our current capabilities, we are aspiring towards defensive jihad, and to improve our position with regards to jurisprudence at this stage. But there is a different discussion for each situation,” it said.
It is important to notice that it was issued in Arabic on the website of its Secretary-General, Salah Al-Sawy. Even though AMJA is based in Sacramento and its mission is to serve their American Muslim audience, it decided against issuing this fatwa in English. If it wasn’t translated by the Translating Jihad blog and reported by Andrew Bostom in 2011, we probably wouldn’t know about it.
Deception is something that AMJA approves of. In an English-language fatwa on its website, issued by Al-Sawy in 2005, Muslims are authorized to lie for the sake of “repulsing evil” if there are “compelling strokes of necessity.” In that case, “he can indirectly say something that his listener can understand something else.”

My wife and I were out doing errands one day and we drove by an Islamic center. She asked “What do they do in there?” I immediately replied “They plot!”
I’m going to send that dirtbag a letter.
As soon as your plan starts, we come after you.
Others...yes...but you first.
You can not defend against the combination of military veterans and intelligence veterans we have at our disposal.
Obama is working hard on disarming us so the Jihad will be successful when it starts.
The Democrats are helping all they can. Too stupid to realsie they will be the first to lose their heads.
In the interest of expediency, I suggest we round up all the Democrats and deposit them overseas in the Jihadists laps. They would have to be delivered unarmed so as not to offend their gun-controlling sensibilities.
They are waiting for Obama Bin Lyin’ to confiscate our guns.
