Revered Muslim leader condemns terrorists
Argentina Star
Tuesday 2nd March, 2010
A Muslim leader in the UK has announced a special religious ruling, otherwise known as a fatwa, against terrorism in the name of Islam.
The widely respected authority on Islamic law, Dr Tahir Qadri, has issued the fatwa, which condemns terrorism and suicide bombing.
Dr Qadri has addressed a press conference in Westminster, central London, to talk about why suicide bombings and terrorism are un-Islamic and scripturally forbidden.
His theological refutation of Islamist terrorism is likely to be discussed widely amongst the worlds Muslim population and will be posted on the Internet in English and Arabic, making it readily accessible.
Dr Qadri has used texts from the Koran to argue that Islam does not permit such acts "on any excuse, reason or pretext" refering to a passage in the Quran in which the death of one innocent is aligned with the death of all humanity.
His fatwa condemns suicide bombers as destined for hell, refuting the claim used by extemists that such terrorists will earn paradise after death.
In his posting on terrorism he says: "Today’s tragedy is that terrorists, murderers, mischief-mongers and rioters try to prove their criminal, rebellious, tyrannous, brutal and blasphemous activities as a right and a justified reaction to foreign aggression under the garb of defense of Islam and national interests. It can in no way be permissible to keep foreign delegates under unlawful custody and murder them and other peaceful non-Muslim citizens in retaliation for interference, unjust activities and aggressive advances of their countries. The one who does has no relation to Islam."
Dr Qadri's international organisation, the Minhaj-ul-Quran movement, has many supporters throughout the world.

Congratulations! At last we hear the courage of the Islamic leadership to denounce what Islam (religion of peace) preaches! We need more such statements for peace in the world and clearing the tarnished image of a muslim. |

With......Hindu Thrust...... obviously, you know no one that is Muslum. While traveling in Asia, I was honored enough to meet many. If the world were full of people that had as loving hearts as those, we would not be having this conflict. It is called prejudice, my friend. Peace be with you. |

Terrorism ,by no matter who, isn't tolerable.Muslims have never favoured terrorism.The suicide terrorist bombers are brainwashed and hypnotised,and so they don’t realise the horrendous sin being committed by them.Islam in very clear terms prohibits terrorism.So by issuing a fatwa against the terrorists,Dr.Tahir quadri has done the right thing.So muslims are against their ilk who have gone terribly wrong.
But what about those like Obama,Bush,Blair,Madeleine Albright,Condoleeza Rice and Ehud Olmert who had thousands killed in the middle-east and Afghanistan with their air attacks?Is there no Padre to issue a fatwa against these people and also to issue a fatwa against state terrorism routinely indulged in by Israel and NATO powers? |

Muslims have never favored terrorism? You must be joking!! Muslims have used terror to dominate since the days of Muhammed. History proves that.
And what about the millions killed over the centuries by Muslim warriors? How about the deaths at the hands of Muslims when they attacked and conquered Arabia and the Christian Holy Lands? How about the invasions by Muslims into Europe?
The fatwa by Dr. Quadri is good. But you, Syed, must remember that Muslims attacked the US first. Muslims attacked the Marines in Lebannon, attacked US citizens in 1992, attacked US citizens from the 1960s to today via terrorism, and then the final act was 11 September 2001 when Muslims flew two jet airliners into the World Trade Centers destroying them and another jet airliner into the headquarters of the US military, the Pentagon. Do not forget the fourth jet airliner. Only due to the bravery of the passengers were those Muslims thwarted in their attack on Washington DC.
So, stop whinning and do something to stop the Islamofascist, neo-Nazi terrorists who are using Islam to justify their murderous terror. |

they just follow the teachings of koran and hadiths which lead to terrorism. I coorected your statement Syed Suhail Khalid. perhaps, if you have the balls to sepak the truth, you can explain the meaning of dar-ul-harb and dar-ul-islam.
I support the idea of what hindu thrust wrote. |

| Pontotoc Bill, read some history before you make outrageous claims. Millions killed by muslim warriors since Muhammad? That’s called warfare, and based on your logic, even more millions have been killed by Christian warriors, dating back to the days of Jesus Christ and into the Crusades. |

Warfare, yes. But WHO started the warfare? Muslims. The Crusades were just a reaction by Christian nations to the Muslims capturing the Christian Holy Lands. The Muslims attacked, the Muslims captured, and then the Christians attacked to throw the Muslim Invaders out of their land.
So, Mental Midget, YOU need to read some REAL history before you embarass yourself again. Avoid Islamic history as it is false. |

Muslim terrorism is called 'Warfare'?Anonymous criticises Pontotoc Bill for saying that Muslims have killed millions over the centuries. Since Christians too killed (probably) millions, this argument is a dead-end, as it were. The issue has to be what is happening TODAY not over the last 1600 years when Islam arrived on the religious (political) scene.
And today’s terrorists are almost 100% Muslim.
To argue, as presumably Anon would, that any earlier centuries' killings were about wars, and to also infer that Bush & Blair are 'war criminals' when they too went to war, shows the vacuity of the antis' argument.
Dr Qadri is to be congratulated BUT he might have used other language than 'fatwa' In the civilised west we don’t DO fatwas.
Still, as a Brit living in a 'denying' country (denial over whose fault Islamic fundamentalist terror is) it’s good to see a Muslim standing up in this way. About time too. |

It is about time!It is about time that an Islamic scholar who knows the meaning and the right way of it’s proper interpretation brings up a vital argument to the attention of those who unknowingly and without proper knowledge of Koran disagree with him. May God give those people strength to use their common sense and learn from Dr. Qadri.
And to people like Mr. Syed Sohail Khalid! Please stay within the subject. |

About time. Maybe its to lateMuslims need a few more like Qadri. Seems he’s the only one not afraid to speak up. Respects to Qadri. |

Blair supporter argues that the War Criminal accusation is void of truth...... , and I wonder what the acts committed by Blair, whether by him or those representing him, he does classify the acts as?
Various news organizations have identified that between the Election of November 2000 and the Taking of Office in January 2001, the lil bush gang and the British Government began discussions on the removal of Saddam. Are such discussions legal in Britain? They are not in the US! They are very much Illegal, to have such discussions that are/were 'plans', as to what resulted almost if not immediately after lil bush took the Oath of Office in January 2001 that a Combined US AND BRITISH ATTACK was made on the Bagdad Area killing and wounding Iraqi Civilians. Some 50 plus US Bombers and 25 plus British Bombers took part in the attacks to kill Saddam! The Attempted Murder of Saddam a head of State of a UN Nation, was the clear Object of the ATTACK, in that Bomb Shelters were attacked with intent! Bunker buster incendiary were used against Civilian Bomb Shelters. The Attack took place on February 16, 2001. Numerous lies were distributed to the Media, and then the media shut down!
So what do you say the deaths were? Accidental? Murder? War Crimes? Go ahead and express just what you call the acts of Blair and bush? |

It is unfortunate.....that here in America, we do not even take care of our own. Is it not a crime to brutalize our nation with pharmasuticals, demoralizing media,
finger-pointing...... have we not learned anything? |

And you have been given the PROOF that the attack you decry was made in self-defense against the Iraqi air defense system which was tracking Allied aircraft, in direct violation of UN cease-fire agreements.
Why do you still refer to it as a war crime when it was clearly a military action that is accepted by the Laws of Armed Conflict? Are you really that dense, GirlyBoyJihad, that you cannot learn when the facts are given to you?

From PBS:

These are NOT conservative news sites, rather they are rather left leaning. Both state that the attacks were on Iraqi air-defense systems in retaliation for Iraqi attacks on Allied aircraft.
You lose yet again. |

Islam is a violent text .. do not believe? How confident are you that Islam is not violent? want to win $50,000 usd proving your point?

lil expert , are you answering for Blair supporter?Is that your new expertice?
Well your evidence was long ago shown to be false information distributed via the war criminals!
You saddle right up to them! And you repeat the lies very diligently! However, its clear from the evidence that murdering saddam was the 'Plan'!
Your support of murder is noted. |

` ~galljdaj+ Give us a break mate!` ~galljdaj+, You sure have got one mother fucker of a chip on your shoulder about George Bush! Do us all a favor and get over it. You sound like an intelligent person but in every post of yours that I read, the blame is always laid at Bush and others. Do you really believe that every thing that goes wrong in the world is his fault? It sounds like you do. This story is about a brave man. Speaking out as he has done will stop the radical muslims and make them question things for a moment. It also gives the rest of us renewed faith in our muslim friends and neighbours that they really aren’t all radical religous killers, that, by their silence, we were all starting to think they were and the well of hatred was building on both sides. This man may have single handedly difussed a lot of religous and racial tension around the world. Lets hope that more like him also speak out. Tell me ` ~galljdaj+, what does George Bush have to do with any of this, apart from being the cause in the first place according to you??? |

have been killed by Christian warriors?What are you talking about? For the record Jesus had NEVER Killed anyone, HAD Never beat anyone? Jesus taught us to 'TURN THE OTHER CHEECK' .. The ONLY Thing man can ever say that Jesus taught to 'Love God with all your Heart aand Mind.. and Love One Another as I have Loved you' ... Yes men kill, but this is the work of men and basic animal thinking.. |

It is more than just tolerance, 38 'You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'[g] 39 BUT I TELL YOU, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, TURN to him the other also. 40 And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41 If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
Love for Enemies
43 'You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor[h] and hate your enemy.' 44 BUT I TELL YOU: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. |

Digger..., glad you asked!How many victims did Blair and bush create? Millions, dead and alive! Not just in the Nations he attacked and tortured! But, in every country he bullied and got to support the war crimes! Participants in his crimes that HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO BE DEPLOYED. I do not count be jailed and/or dishonerably discharged as a choice.
Vast numbers of victims! How do we end the victimizations? Yes speaking to those muslims that can be influenced to end the violence(s) is just as important as to speaking to those that started the violences and/or still support them! Why is it important? To bring a closure to the Problem!
Why is it important to bring the planners of war crimes to Justice? Certainly not for revenge as your post indicates, but for the victims closures and for the future, to prevent another blair and lil bush from more mass killings!
Demonstrated Rule of Law, is the only way for Leaders to control the Peoples from Violence and the Murder Solution! People need to voluntarily agree to and follow the Nations' Laws. Such is the only way to provide Life and Liberty.
a POLICE STATE is the other option.
This is why I say gang that began the slaughters must be brought to Justice. This is why the ICC was created by the Nations of the World, And why lil bush took the USA out of the Treaty we had agreed to bt Clinton! He knew full well the ICC AWAITED HIM FOR HIS PLAN! He still can be taken to the ICC, if one courageous Nation gets it hands on him. |

taquiyaa message of koranKoran says that Muslims could lie to the kafirs to serve Islaam or interests. So, I have some doubt about the fatwa. If many Muslims accept the fatwa and the wahabbis and the terrorists also begin to accept it, then there will not be WW III, and all will be good. |
Have your say on this story
