Original Text of the recent US Fatwa

I think this is pretty interesting.  We are starting to see some more major US Muslim leaders coming out pretty strongly against terrorism.  This is a great thing.  I think we need to be careful and discerning to make sure this is not just double speak, (What is the phrase in carpentry?  Measure twice cut once) but this is a very possitive sign.

1. All acts of terrorism targeting civilians are haram (forbidden) in Islam.

2. It is haram for a Muslim to cooperate with any individual or group that is involved in any act of terrorism or violence.

3. It is the civic and religious duty of Muslims to cooperate with law enforcement authorities to protect the lives of all civilians.

About waynem

As a Minnesota based photographer and artist I have been greatly influenced by the Upper Midwest. I focus my skills and energies on portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural and fine art work. My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture. The result is images that deeply touch people's emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams. My images are used commercially by companies and organizations ranging from Financial Services firms, mom and pop Ice Cream shops and The Basilica of St Mary to communicate their shared vision and values. Book and magazine publishers have featured my images on their covers. My photographs also grace and enhance the decor of many fine homes.

    It should be noted that there is concern that this is a head fake.
    The signers of the Declaration of Independence pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor in support of the Declaration. What are the signers of this declaration pledging in its support?

    I could not agree more. That is why we must be vigilant and not just listen to what they say, but also look at what they do.
    We need to follow the money!
