MADRID, Spain — Muslim clerics in Spain issued what they called the world's first fatwa (search), or Islamic edict, against Usama bin Laden on Thursday, the first anniversary of the Madrid train bombings, calling him an apostate and urging others of their faith to denounce the Al Qaeda (search) leader. ....

I don't think I'd ride the trains in Spain for a while.
Stand up??? I don't think that even these Muslims are standing up. This is from the article.
"Asked if the edict meant Muslims had to help police try to arrest the world's most wanted man — who is believed to be hiding along the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan — Escudero said: "We don't get involved in police affairs but we do feel that all Muslims are obliged to ... keep anyone from doing unjustified damage to other people."
Good! We've finally got Muslims standing up to the coward.
Too little too late . The religion of peace is a joke.
these islamofascists have been killing people at random for 30 years now and they are only now coming around to the STARTLINGLY PROFOUND REVELATION... that Terrorism is against the koran???

Hey, it's better than the proverbial poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
This is more important than most folks realize. The terrorists have no more in common with the average Muslim than the abortion clinic bombers have in common with the average christian. Finally, at least a few muslims are standing up for their faith and against the terrorists.
I remember my buddy taking the flag down from his store on 9/11 and giving it to the muslim owners of the shop next door, telling them "You better put this up." They did. They called the terrorists "dogs" and "bandits"- two of the vilest curses in arabic.
This reminds me of the statement the IRA made last night offering the sisters of a man they murdered to shoot the people who done it. This was their pathetic response to an outcry from the public. The muslims' fatwa is just a grotesque, designed to soften their image to a population growing uneasy with their presence.
