Bin Laden issuing fatwas makes about as much sense as Satan issuing Papal encyclicals.

I found this definition of fatwas interesting:

i-cias.com

Excerpt: "It is vital that a fatwa is not based upon the muftis or lawyers own will and ideas, he must render it in accordance with fixed precedent."

Sounds like our buddy Osama is going straight to Hell on that one.

The following site is a source for fatwas, and appears to show how mainstream Islam regards September 11th:

fatwa-online.com

The links on the top of the page are all very interesting.

Here's my favorite quote, one with which I wholeheartedly agree:

"Islaam should not be judged based on the acts of sinners."

Lest anyone think that these people are just saying what they think America wants to hear, note that they show no hesitation at criticizing our support of Israel.
