Islamic Scholar Says Suicide Bombers Will 'Go to Hell'

Sadly, we all remember the death warrant on Salman Rushdie but next month a fatwa against terrorism will be delivered (33) Tweet this (27) Comments (149)
Following the Salman Rushdie affair, the word fatwa became commonplace in our vernacular it, lamentably, became associated with death, killing, and censorship. But to most Muslims, the word fatwa is not a political term, but an unbinding religious edict issued by erudite scholars who take into consideration the needs of the modern world. While most of us remember the Iranian cleric Ayatollah Khomeini's fatwa of death, how many remember the other scholar, Zaki Badawi, who offered refuge and solace to the then beleaguered Rushdie?
Sadly, fatwas with death warrants are still deemed necessary by some. Only this week, a leading Saudi Wahhabi cleric issued a fatwa suggesting death for Muslims who propagate free interaction with members of the opposite sex. This destructive cycle of judging Muslims' religious beliefs, then issuing excommunications or takfir, followed by calls for their deaths, lies behind the modern terrorism of al-Qaida and Taliban slaughter of Muslims in Iraq or Pakistan.
It’s about time.
(wink, wink)
Is there not an "International Criminal Court"? It is only logical to believe that such an incitement to commit murder would fall under their purview. Oh, they only go after Western political leaders who fall afoul of what they "Progressive Left" desires? How silly of me...
the infowarrior
If an Islamic scholar says so, it must be true.
Gonna be kind of boring....even Disneyland, when empty, isn't so much fun at all.
yeah yeah yeah. for western consumption only, for liberal/leftist newspapers only.
means NOTHING to the average jihadi in the street.
Sure they’ll go to Hell... That’s ALLAH’s abode. Good ole ALLAH must laugh his A## off every time one of these Muzzie nimrods pushes the button.
Is there not an “International Criminal Court”?
they would want it heard in an “International Sharia court”.
Allah is their "God." Most of know, however, their "God" should be spelled with a little g. The same "god" who got Adam and Eve to eat the fruit in the Garden of Eden.
Only if they miss their target.
It is in stark contrast to the God who we call Jesus Christ.
It’s nice to see a muslim cleric with some balls...
Can I say that?
You are correct sir.
I imagine a lot of people who heard they were going to see allah and his virgins need to be grandfathered in on this one. Starting today, though, all new ones are going to hell. They gotta draw the line somewhere.
This extensive site contains a wealth of good information about those who work to enable Islamic terrorism, and those who work to curb it.
Anyone on FR who believes all Muslims are evil should go here. They need our moral support!
