I think what they are implying is that America and Canada should be protected against attack by Muslims as Muslims are also a part of the community in both countries - which is true.

This looks like a positive overture and should be accepted as such.

"as Muslims are also a part of the community in both countries - which is true"

you simply re-state my point, which is that only because 10 million Muslims live in N. America is this fatwa being issued..... "don't kill your fellow Muslims" is the message..... and if there were few if any Muslims here well then it would be open season for terrorists according to this idea......

I suppose it is positive in some way, since it is almost unheard of for Muslims to condemn jihad terrorism, but I don't have to appreciate the idea that my family, friends, countrymen are only worthy of protection because otherwise some nearby Muslim(s) might be harmed in the same damnable terror attack.

then take a look again: Are they calling for defending their country? Or MUSLIMS in their country?

I didnt read this as Muslims who happen to live in Canada or US calling for the defense of their nation against attacks, this was CLEARLY MUSLIMS calling for defending MUSLIMS against OTHER MUSLIMS

NOT ONE WORD about patriotism of country, the death of innocents regardless of religion, regardless of national origin

IT WAS ALL ABOUT PROTECTING MUSLIMS!
