LET'S SEE IF CAIR ENDORSES THIS:
U.S. Muslims issue anti-terrorism 'fatwa'
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top U.S. Muslim scholars issued a "fatwa," or religious edict, against terrorism on Thursday and called on Muslims to help authorities fight the scourge of militant violence.
... Because Islam is not based on a world-wide hierarchical structure, the edicts are not globally binding, and only affect the community whose religious leaders have issued the rulings.
This appears to be a step in the right direction. But without the unequivocal endorsement of it by major Muslim organizations such as CAIR; without extensive, prominent, and unequivocal denunciations of terrorism on the part of all Muslim leaders in America; and without the public denunciation on the part of Muslim leaders of all the imams in America who preach Jihad, and of all the mosques in America at which people are taught to hate non-Muslims -- it can be considered at most no more than a step.
