Islamic scholars call for jihad to defend the faith

When I began my quest to increase my understanding of the Islamic world, I wouldn't have understood the significance of this article. What this means is the neo-cons have just handed Bin Luddite victory. He can call for jihad all he wants to, but he just doesn't have the standing. From day one long before the twin towers, his goal was to start a war of civilizations between the west and the Islamic world. The towers wasn't about killing Americans. It was about "poking the US in the eye", hoping the US would do something foolish. He knew he couldn't start a jihad, but the US could. In the absence of a caliph, only the great religious schools can proclaim a jihad because of a perceived threat to the umma. That‘s what this article is about. I don’t know where Bin Luddite is, but I’m sure he’s celebrating. Way to go George.
