ISCC affiliated Imams Issue Important Fatwa
Attack on Canada and the United States is Attack on Muslims Over 10 million Muslims Live in North America
Calgary) Twenty Imams affiliated with the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada have issued a Fatwa today declaring the attacks on Canada and the United States by any extremist will be the attack on 10 million Muslims living in North America. This is the first Fatwa by the Muslim clergy declaring attacks on Canada and the United States as attack on Muslims. Following is the text of the Fatwa.
FATWA (religious edict)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
We, the undersigned Imams, are issuing the following Fatwa in order to guide the Muslims of North America regarding the attacks on Canada and the United States by the terrorists and the extremists. In our view, these attacks are evil and Islam requires from Muslims to stand up against this evil. In the holy Qur’an Almighty Allah orders Muslims,
"Let there among you be a group that summon to all that is beneficial commands what is proper and forbids what is improper; they are the ones who will prosper." (3:104)
"Believing men and believing women are protecting friends of one another; they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong; they perform salat and give zakat..." (9:71)
"Those who, if We establish them in the land (with authority), establish regular prayers and practice regular charity and enjoin the right and forbid the wrong..." (22:41)
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said in a Hadith;
"When people see a wrong-doer and do nothing to stop him, they may well be visited by God with a punishment."
Therefore, it is an obligation upon us (Imams) to inform all Muslims around the world that Muslims in Canada and the United States have complete freedom to practice Islam. There is no single city in Canada and the United States where MASAJIDS (Mosques) are not built. In all major cities Islamic schools provide education to Muslim children about Qur’an and the Islamic traditions. Thousands of Muslims perform Hajj every year and travel to Saudi Arabia with complete freedom and respect. In the month of Ramadan, both Canadian and the United States governments recognize the occasion and greet all Muslim citizens. Muslims pray five daily prayers in mosques without any fear or restrictions. Muslims have complete freedom to pay Zakat (poor due) to the charity or a person of their choice. Muslims have complete freedom to celebrate their festivals openly, publicly and Islamically. Muslims enjoy freedom of religion just like Christians, Jews and others. No one stops us from obeying Allah and His Messenger (Peace be upon him). No one stops us from preaching Islam and practicing Islam. In many cases, Muslims have more freedom to practice Islam here in Canada and the United States than many Muslim countries.
In fact, the constitutions of the United States and Canada are very close to the Islamic guiding principles of human rights and freedom. There is no conflict between the Islamic values of freedom and justice and the Canadian /US values of freedom and justice.
Therefore, any attack on Canada and the United States is an attack on the freedom of Canadian and American Muslims. Any attack on Canada and the United States is an attack on thousands of mosques across North America. It is a duty of every Canadian and American Muslim to safeguard Canada and the USA. They must expose any person, Muslim OR non-Muslim, who would cause harm to fellow Canadians OR Americans. We, Canadian and American Muslims, must condemn and stand up against these attacks on Canada and the United States.
May Allah save Canada, the United States and the entire world from the evil of wrong doers. Ameen.

Thank you. Take care.
Many muslin citizens have risked their lives to escape opressive regimes, Many are just as terrified by Islamic extremeists as we are. They don’t want to die in an attack as another by stander anymore than we do. In the imortal words of R Reagan...trust but verify!

What a shame that this comes so late in the game nobody can take it seriously. We are no longer gullible.
:)
How about “too little and way too late”?
Yes. I’ve been informed.
But thank you anyway.
I appreciate the effort.
Pure BS. This is “hold fire until we infiltrate more.”
We should ask Obama what it means.
My take on all this activity is that it is misdirection by the muslims to try to disguise what their actual intentions are.
At this time, I'm suspicious of every rental truck (U-Haul,etc.) I see. I keep my gas tank at 3/4 full (pretty much filling up every morning) and have 4 jerry cans in reserve. I keep detailed maps and compass in the truck along with 3 days of food, a water filter, extra cloths, blankets, and defensive hardware. I'm always aware of wind direction.
Thanks for the pings and info ladies. It's very much appreciated.
Folks, all preparations should be complete by now. It's almost show time.
I'm very worried about the ball games tomorrow." <<<<<
Hello, AD.
We've decided to carefully go through the entire house, garage and porches tomorrow, to make positive that we have everything all together & packed up, should we have to immediately evacuate. Have we really gathered everything of permanent value that we'd want to have? Or did we miss some essentials?
Like you, we believe that it is best to be totally prepared to either shelter in place, indefinitely, or if instructed to evacuate, to be able to leave quickly and NOT look back.
I was scanning this messagethread again, and it suddenly occurred to me, Hey, WAIT a second, this is just toooooo odd... and so I am starting to seriously wonder just who the imams are who signed this FATWA, and IF it might actually not be any type of FATWA whatsoever but is actually a prearranged GO CODE.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see what Robert Spenser's future comments on the FATWA will be, and it seems that no freepers are taking it as legit.
Exactly.
On record. Beforehand. In writing. Dated. Signed. Available for questions with contact info.
Looking at the pre-fatwa preface, and at various places within the fatwa, it definitely references future attacks.
This is a very good start. As much as it may not be the panacea everyone wants, they should be congratulated on speaking out publicly, and on choosing civilization over barbarity.
:)((((((Hugs))))))

Sounds just like BO’s stance.....Man made whatever....then “extremist”....and then ...finally got around to reluctantly saying, “terrorist”
I’m sorry but I think he’s got a part in it!!! One way or another he’s trying to bring America to it’s knees!
When we consider that their scripture quotes were taken completely out of context.....when is the other shoe going to drop....with all their scriptures quotes dealing...death to the infidels? That would be most Americans that don’t believe like they do......would it not?
I believe you are correct....Something Big is coming down the pipe and they know it and have the CYA stance now.
Spencer passes and leaves the question open.
