Muslim Leaders Issue Fatwa Against IS Britons
Yahoo News UK ^ | 31st August 2014 | Yahoo News UK

Posted on 08/31/2014 11:05:07 AM PDT by the scotsman

'Muslim leaders have reportedly issued a fatwa condemning Britons who fight for extremists in Iraq and Syria.

The fatwa, which The Sunday Times newspaper said had been issued by imams, is the strongest denunciation yet by the Muslim community of UK citizens who join militants of the self-proclaimed Islamic State, formerly known as ISIL and ISIS.

Issued by a learned Muslim scholar, a fatwa is an edict that may concern any aspect of Islamic life.

Technically it cannot be revoked and dies only with the person it is imposed on.

The Sunday Times reported six senior Islamic scholars have endorsed the fatwa, describing Britons allied to Islamic State cells as "heretics".

According to the newspaper, the fatwa says Muslims have a "moral obligation" to help those in war-torn Syria and Iraq, but that they should do so "without betraying their own societies".'

Anyone have the story about the 1400 little girls abused and raped by hundreds of Pakistani muslims living in the UK for over a decade?

Islam is a political system modeled on the tribal elder as leader. The problem with it today is it is too big for a single elder/leader. So the imams end up fighting each other. Usually, the one with the most followers/adherents is deferred to because his followers will kill you if you disagree. These guys are risking their lives by disagreeing. Either they’re confident in their positions and have plenty of security or they’re living in their own little universe. (The problem with that is the real universe is not a forgiving one.)

I'm more interested in what they are saying inside the mosques, not what they're saying in public.

Care to hazard a guess, scotsman?

Then again, this all can just be a deliberate misdirection.

Are they?

If you condemn murder you condemn Mohammed.

If you condemn thievery you condemn Mohammed.

If you condemn rape you condemn Mohammed.

If you condemn pedophilia you condemn Mohammed.

If you condemn terrorism you condemn Mohammed.

If you condemn Mohammed you condemn Islam.

Correct. Nobody ever died from playing the “taqiyyah” game.

“Then again, this all can just be a deliberate misdirection. “

That would be very subtle. The many Arab’s I’ve known did not have an ounce of subtlety. No humor, unless it was pie in the face. No deep thinking. They were, except for one, just two dimensional people. If the imams are doing something subtle it will be missed by the ones who are sent to kill them.

Muslims leaders showing more disdain against ISIS than the POTUS. Thank you Democrats, having a hardcore radical Muslim is certainly what the United states needed. Thank God todays leftists didn’t exist back during WW2, they’d have Himmler as President.

The Imams want everyone to know that it’s THEY who are in charge of the jihad against the West.

They’re all for the cold-bloooded murder of Westerners, they just don’t like being upstaged.

I guess fatwas are the equivalent of “wanted dead or alive “ posters in the wild west, but without a ransom for the bounty hunter.

Obama’s brain was fried by drugs, long ago.

In his “Dreams” book, Obama proudly admitted to his youthful “enthusiastic use of drugs.”

Simple words such as “to” and “people” are pronounced “tuh” and “folks” respectively.

Obama has spoken no ideas that will be retained in the history of great speeches.

Obama’s public speaking is restricted to a carefully controlled audience where the act of BOOing is forcefully prohibited.

Obama’s brain is useless without a teleprompter to keep him on a topic.

Without a teleprompter, Obama play-acts out a “Devil made me do that,” shuffle and jive Role in a fake Southern accent.

Without an advisor to tell him what to do, Obama is terrified to “go it alone.”

Obama’s lack of a strong Foreign Policy advisor accounts for Obama’s obvious mental confusion in Foreign Policy and Military matters.

Obama follows orders from his advisors domestically, and thus has no problem “going it alone” domestically because his top aides tell him what to do, and then defend Obama flawlessly.

Obama chose, at the request of his advisors to negotiate with terrorists with the deal he made to release the GITMO FIVE in order to beef up ISIS at an opportune time for them.

Without Valerie Jarrett to write Obama’s speeches, and tell Obama what to do, the drugged stupor that Obama was in during his 2012 TV Denver Debate with Romney would be a monthly drug stupor spectacle.

As Obama’s fragile administration continues to fail, Obama is sent out of the Oval Office more frequently to perform simple tasks, such as Shuffle and Jive Role speeches at controlled rallies or controlled Democrat Donation functions. or Golf games with a tightly controlled guest list.

Obama’s recent admission that after 5.5 years of on-the-job-training to be the Commander in Chief, he still does not have a strategy for America’s number one enemy since 9-11-2001: Militant Muslims.

This was exactly what Obama’s advisors have tried so hard to avoid: showing the American Public that Obama does not have the mental capacity to be the Commander in Chief of the United States Military.

Obama will resign ONLY if Harry Reid tells Valerie Jarrett that Obama must resign for the good of the Democrat Party.

What is good for the Country is of NO concern to Reid or Jarrett.

Sure, NOW the the “moderate” Muslims get their knickers in a knot when ISIS videos are making the modern world vomit while wondering how these zombies wondered off the theater screen into everyday reality. ISIS will set off a suitcase nuke somewhere soon leading to martial law and military rule in the US, leading one to surmise who actually cranks their mainspring.
