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.

They must know what is coming and they are trying to save their own skin.
Sufism is the ‘mystical’ branch of Islam - and which branch is no less violent than the other two major ones - and has been responsible for at least one historic massacre of ‘brother’ muslims.
Right. As the underwear bomber said: there are 20 more like him on the way - and don’t forget that the primary goal of AQ is, at the moment, is to shut down all transatlantic air, thereby isolating the US from Europe.
Good morning pennie,
Please remember, it’s best to stay put if at all possible. Only evac if there is no other option. Like ExSoldier said, avoid becoming a refugee if at all possible.
I’m curious, do you live in a city? If so, evac may be the only option.
Please be cafeful.
AD
Do you have brush burns from falling off the turnip truck?
meaningless.
muslims kill each other daily.
this is contrived for the infidel to think these muslims are ‘on our side’.
Do we WANT to become refugees?
Nope.
However, like you, we believe that there is currently a potential for serious destruction of a magnitude beforehereto unimaginable.
Our ability to shelter in place has been fine, since the late 80s or so.
But I want to be certain that IF a mandatory evacuation order is given, than we can go forward, AT ONCE, without needing to locate anything. And without remembering some prescious something somewhere in our home or property many hours and many miles later.
No one wants to be a refugee, but I'm not concerned about all these isolated terror attacks, I am worried about something MUCH bigger and which endangers the lives of many millions of Americans all at the same time.
We believe that all these airplane incidents are simply camoflage for something much more nefarious, much more evil, much bigger, much longer lasting, maybe even permanent damage.
The jihadists kill muslims who are not “down with the struggle”. Muslims not down with the struggle are not killing the jihadists...The non-jihadists shed crocodile tears because PC has always been on their side. So, why should the rest of us have to get used to it???
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

American Dream 246,
What country are you originally from?
Misdirection.
“The jihadists kill muslims who are not “down with the struggle”. Muslims not down with the struggle are not killing the jihadists...The non-jihadists shed crocodile tears because PC has always been on their side. So, why should the rest of us have to get used to it???”
Further, when a jihadist kills a muslim “not down with the struggle”, the jihadist has sent his ‘fellow’ muslim straight to ‘Paradise’ as a martyr. What more could a non-jihadist muslim ask for?
“Is Barry the wrong-doer, or the punishment? “
I’ve always been suspected that my second wife was my reward for not treating my first wife better...;)
“it has to look like they aren’t defending Americans and Canadians, just muslims”
That was my impression as well.
In an earlier post I asked what country you were originally from. Never mind!
...”Further, when a jihadist kills a muslim “not down with the struggle”, the jihadist has sent his ‘fellow’ muslim straight to ‘Paradise’ as a martyr.”...
I don’t believe Islam is supposed to work that way. It sounds more like how Islamic extremism works- EVERYTHING in the name of Allah and to go so far as to usurp the authority of Allah.
More muslim primitivism
I probably know more about Islam than you do.
Check my prior posts on it.
If something positive appears, check it out, but keep your powder dry.
