More than 500 British Muslim religious leaders and scholars have issued a fatwa in response to the London bombs.
The religious decree expresses condolences to the families of the victims of the atrocity and wishes the injured a speedy recovery.
It states Islam condemns the use of violence and the destruction of innocent lives and says suicide bombings are "vehemently prohibited".
That is the first time I've seen a Muslim group condemn terrorism in unequivical terms. It's good to see.
The media here hasn’t helped, they keep giving extremists platforms, they are the ones that help spread their message while further demonising the Muslim communities. Those extremists (Bakri, Choudary etc.) do not represent Muslims. Extremists control no Mosques in the UK, the thing is extremists have been driven underground. Extremists make up a small minority so they obviously hide themselves amongst the peaceful majority.
You guys need to smoke these fuckers out. If there were terrorists in my church, I would consider it a personal affront and do all I could to eliminate them.
I’ve been going to Mosque for years and I’ve never heard any terrorist threats or any sort of extremism. That sort of stuff doesn’t happen in British Mosques. My own brother just missed the 7/7 bombings, I have always taken a stand against terrorism/extremism, I will always stand firmly against it.
Again, good to hear. Now, if you could get the extreemists to chill out about cartoons.......
