The BBC is reporting from London that Dr. Tahir ul-Qadri, A Pakistani scholar, will issue a “fatwa” prohibiting terrorism and suicide bombing. , The Media Line reports that the Fatwa issued is intended to “dismantle Al-Qaeda’s violent ideology.” This scholar has produced a 600-page document. The killing of innocent citizens and the use of suicide bombings are singled out as being unacceptable to Muslims. He includes a point-by-point refutation of Al-Qaeda’s philosophy using theological arguments.
My questions: Will CAIR endorse his statement or remain silent? Will a counter Fatwa be issued against the good doctor? Will Muslims march against bombings and terrorism? Will Dr. Tahir ul-Qadri be alive in a year?
For now, just let me applaud his work. May more Muslim leaders and followers join his cause.
