American Muslims Condemn Terrorism

Power Line

This seems like really, really good news:

<<<

Top U.S. Muslim scholars issued a "fatwa," or religious edict, against terrorism on Thursday and called on Muslims to help authorities fight the scourge of militant violence.


American Muslims this month launched a nationwide advertising campaign in which they declared that those who committed terrorism in the name of Islam were betraying the teachings of the Koran.
>>>

The only thing that concerns me about the language of the fatwa is that it comes from a CAIR spokesman. But, assuming he's portraying it accurately, it sounds just right:

<<<

We clearly and strongly state (that) all acts of terrorism targeting civilians are 'haram' (forbidden) in Islam.
It is 'haram' for a Muslim to cooperate with any individual or group that is involved in any act of terrorism or violence, and it is the civic and religious duty of Muslims to cooperate with law enforcement authorities to protect the lives of all civilians.
>>>

More evidence, I think, that the terrorists are playing out a losing hand.
