The scholar's movement is growing in the UK and has attracted the interest of policymakers and security chiefs. In his religious ruling, Dr Qadri says that Islam forbids the massacre of innocent citizens and suicide bombings.'

Pretty sad when it is NEWS that an Islamic leader is denouncing terrorism.

NEWS reports rare events (supposedly)...which tells you this fellow is OUT OF THE MAINSTREAM.

“Taqiyya” is the dissimulation (lying about stuff, to those of you from Rio Linda) of one’s religious beliefs to non-Muslims. Watch the actions, not the words.

The present explosive and aggressive expansion of subversion of Western culture and national structure by the immigration of growing numbers of practitioners of this cult only makes this problem all the more serious. Islamic residents of these non-Muslim countries have no interest in changing THEIR point of view to conform with their host countries, rather, they are much in favor of changing the host into another extension of the worldwide Caliphate.

An influential Muslim scholar is to issue in London a global ruling against terrorism and suicide bombing. Dr Tahir ul-Qadri

And in other news, Al-Qaeda is set to issue a fatwa against Dr Tahir ul-Qadri...

Ah but you forget what happened over here. The great one rose out of the depths of nothing and promised hope and change and said he came to rule the world.

Anything is possible /Sarc

I think the maximum hope one can have about him . . .

is that SOMEONE will eventually change his diaper.
