Well, at least they are saying they are happy here...we are always complaining, and me the first to do it, that never one muslims in US are talking against terrorists - for once they do it so let’s keep an open mind. You know me - I am totally against the islamist invasion but if these guys finally would accept to be American before they are muslims and would defend America first..I guess we have at least to listen - if they really mean it and PROVE it then we have to praise them. What do you think?
I don’t think anything in their statement implies they would defend America (or Canada) to any serious extent, but I do agree that it seems like a positive statement which is rarely seen if ever from Imams etc.
On the one hand, Muslim clerics standing up publicly against jihad terrorism is most definitely welcome. On the other, I cannot accept their premise that it’s the presence of Muslims in N. America that makes such attacks evil and appalling.

I agree — this may be a breakthrough, a better late than never. The money quote in the fatwa is:
“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.”
This can be the leverage needed by the more responsible parents need to keep their kids from being radicalized by the bad guys.
there were demonstrations against the underwear bomber by Muslims in NYC...small group but rather vocal, One guy, welldressed Muslim was very vocal , pointing to his forehead “If you want to attack and kill me for denouncing Jhidasits violence, here i am, here is your target!”
there are so few ( compared to the world’s millions) non radical Muslims.
Do you have brush burns from falling off the turnip truck?
OK, digging back to the past, what do you think now? We are indeed having many arrests. But we also have fanatics trying to build a mosque near Ground Zero, and a call for Shariah law in the US.
