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 Quran 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 Quran 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.

Pre-emptive self-defensive rhetoric for what is about to happen? IOWs they know something we don't?
I know who he is.
Thank you for the ping spyone.
Clarifying...I know who Ezra Levant is from reading his web site.
These people aren’t to be trusted period.
I wouldn’t believe anything of Muslim origin at face value, as they have a goal that includes subjugation of the populace of the entire World to Islam, or either the taxation, harassment, or destruction of the populace that refuses to convert. Lying to obtain their goals is not unheard of in their faith.
This Fatwa is not a statement of congeniality. It is a warning to the Terrorist oriented Muslims outside our Hemisphere to lay off the territory these Imams have marked for themselves IMO.

This is aimed at stopping the crazies who view non-muslims as non-people before they turn their crazy into homocide. It is aimed at family and friends of said crazy people who themselves might be a little crazy, but not nearly to that extent. It is aimed at convincing them to intervene in the event that their crazy friend/family-member shows signs of acting on their craziness. When you are trying to argue with crazy people, sometimes the only way to get through is to use crazy logic.
“...what do you think is going on here?”
It’s called “taqiya.” Muslims were instructed by Mohammed (piss be upon him) to lie to the infidels.
Will it matter? to little to late? or just a ruse?
I haven't decided what to make of this yet. When they say "attack on all Muslims," it appears to be self-preserving. I'll have to chew this one over for a bit.

You’re welcome spyone.
When ONE KNOWS iSSlam one can’t believe that!
It is only ONE imman and there are many.
On the other hand obamao is their man and they think that time will play for them if he stays in charge!
Open borders will be more effective than terrorist attacks!
CAIR and the PC multicultural bullshits will do the job.
