Your run of the mill muslim citizen isn't involved in this kind of shit I am sure. It's just a minority.

Anyway I googled these if they are of interest.

BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | Cleric condemns suicide attacks

Suicide bombings are against Islam, says leading Iranian cleric | Iran | Middle East | International News | News | Telegraph

HEY! It just came on the news apparently the car involved in the glasgow attack was seen round here in the south west, and the police are investigating whether the canisters were purcahsed in the garden shop not 5 minutes from where I live.
I agree it is a minority but a Fatwa is more/less a religious law for them. Why doesn't any of the leading Clerics step up and declare one?

As for the charity work that is very cool BUT; in their beliefs, IF they were to have "world control" each religion would still be able to practice but they would still follow Sharia Law. Kind of like the master having control of it's pets for better terms. They feel that during the times of Muslim rule there was peace and that all sectors were being cared for by the "dominant race".

The cleric accepts that "if there is no choice, no peace, no security, then the holy Koran says that when your enemy attacks you, you can fight him".

Moreover, Muslim extremists like to claim that Israeli civilians are not really "civilians" because most of them serve in the Israeli army and perform regular stints of reserve duty.

Nevertheless, Dr Safavi's comments are a rare departure in a region where suicide bombers - especially Palestinian militants who attack Israeli civilians in the name of Islam - are idolised and often receive the explicit blessing of Muslim religious leaders.

Dr Safavi's views on Israel are, if anything, even more revolutionary.

We'll see what his longevity is now with these comments. It's still far from issueing a Fatwa BUT a step in the right direction.

Have a good one!:s4:
