A prominent Islamic scholar will use a speech in London to issue a 600-page religious edict, denouncing terrorists and suicide bombers as "unbelievers".
Muhammad Tahir ul Qadri is a leading figure who has promoted peace and interfaith dialogue for 30 years.
He said he felt compelled to issue the fatwa because of concerns about the radicalisation of British Muslims at university campuses and because there had been a lack of condemnation of extremism by Muslim clerics and scholars.
Ul Qadri says his fatwa, which is aimed at persuading young Muslims to turn their backs on extremism, goes further than any previous denunciation.
"This is the first, most comprehensive fatwa on the subject of terrorism ever written," said ul Qadri, who has written about 350 books on Islamic scholarship.

THREAT LEVELS
Members of the public should always remain alert to the danger of terrorism and report any suspicious activity to the police on 999 or the anti-terrorist hotline: 0800 789 321. If your information does not relate to an imminent threat, you can also contact the Security Service via the How You Can Help us page.
Current threat level
The current threat level is assessed as SEVERE (as of 22nd January 2010 - see threat level history for previous changes).
This means that a terrorist attack is highly likely.
See The UK’s threat level system for more information on what threat levels mean, who decides the level of threat and how the threat level system is used.
The Government continues to maintain a state of heightened readiness in response to the threat from international terrorism. It remains the Government’s policy to issue warnings or advice if this ever became necessary to protect public safety in the event of a specific and credible terrorist threat.
Source and form of the threat
The threat of international terrorism comes from a diverse range of sources, including Al Qaida and associated networks, and those who share Al Qaida’s ideology but do not have direct contact with them. A threat could manifest itself from a lone individual or group, rather than a larger network. Domestic terrorism related to Northern Ireland, principally from dissident Irish Republican and Loyalist terrorist groups, also remains a threat.
The terrorist threat can take a number of forms, as terrorists may use a variety of methods of attack to achieve their objectives. These may include explosive devices, firearms, missiles, kidnapping, infiltration and electronic attacks. See the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) (new window) website for practical advice on how to defend against these threats.
This page has been produced in consultation with the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC). It will be regularly reviewed and updated. Whilst every care has been taken in preparing this summary, the Security Service accepts no liability for any statement contained therein (see our Content Disclaimer).

WHAT TO LOOK FOR
The terrorist threat is serious and ongoing. Members of the public can help to prevent terrorism by being alert to possible suspicious activities.
Terrorists have to live somewhere, and they need to plan and prepare for attacks. They buy and store materials, fund their activities, move around, prepare equipment and weapons and possibly undergo training. They may have people helping them - and these people might come and go at strange times of the day and night. They may make unusual financial transactions or use false documents to hide their real identities. They may be behaving differently to how you’ve known them to behave in the past. Members of the public may spot such activities, and if reported in time, a planned terrorist attack may be stopped before it happens.
If you are aware of something suspicious, trust your instincts and report it to the police. What might seem insignificant on its own could actually provide a vital link in a wider investigation.

If you suspect it, report it
In an emergency
If you think you have seen a person acting suspiciously, or if you see a vehicle, unattended package or bag which might be an immediate threat, move away and call 999.
Anti-Terrorist hotline

The terrorist threat remains real and there is no room for complacency. The public should remain alert and aware of their surrounding at all times. If something strikes you as suspicious and out of place then trust your instincts and call the police.
If you think you have seen something suspicious or you are unsure about somebody’s activities or behaviour, however insignificant it may seem at the time, call the confidential Anti-Terrorist hotline on 0800 789 321.A textphone service is available for people with speech or hearing difficulties on 0800 032 45 39 (text messages from mobiles are not accepted).
You can also submit your information using our confidential online form.
Any information passed to the Anti-Terrorist Hotline is treated in the strictest of confidence and is thoroughly analysed and researched before, and if, any police action is taken.

TERRORISM
Terrorism presents a serious and sustained threat to the United Kingdom and UK interests abroad.
International terrorism from groups such as Al Qaida present a threat on a scale not previously encountered. Drawing on extremist messages presented by figures such as Usama bin Laden, Al Qaida and its related networks seek to carry out terrorist attacks around the world, aiming to carry out “high impact” attacks causing mass civilian casualties.
Northern Ireland-related terrorism continues to pose a serious threat to British interests. Although a peace process has been active for several years, dissident Irish republican terrorist groups oppose the peace process and continue to attack economic and political targets.
Other domestic extremist groups, unrelated to the Northern Ireland situation, may aspire to campaigns of violence but lack developed terrorist capabilities. For the most part, they pose a threat to public order but not to national security.
For detailed guidance on how to protect your business from the threat of terrorism, please see the website of the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (new window).

Truthful? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... gasp... ha ha ha ha ha!
I’ve been there and seen that sign.
It’s in the Caribbean.
Not bad at all.
It even has Internet Coffee shops.

“Muslim leader issues anti-terror fatwa
Suicide bombers heading to hell, al-Qaeda evil, Pakistani-born scholar says”
News agencies
Published: 03.02.10, 23:31 / Israel News
SNIPPET: “The leader of a global Muslim movement has issued a fatwa, or religious edict, that he calls an absolute condemnation of terrorism.
Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, a former Pakistani lawmaker, says the 600-page fatwa bans suicide bombing “without any excuses, any pretexts, or exceptions.”
“They can’t claim that their suicide bombings are martyrdom operations and that they become the heroes of the Muslim nation,” Qadri told a press conference in London. ““No, they become heroes of hellfire, and they are heading towards hellfire.”
Qadri also slammed Osama Bin Laden’s al-Qaeda network, referring to it as an “old evil with a new name” and saying it has not be challenged adequately thus far.
“There is no place for any martyrdom and their act is never, ever to be considered jihad,” he said.”
“U.K.: Islamic scholar issues fatwa against “terrorism” — is anyone safer?”
