Islamic nations stop condemnation of suicide bombers

Quote: "A Saudi cleric, for example, issued a fatwa saying that innocent Britons were a legitimate target for terrorist action. Also, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, dean of the College of Sharia and Islamic Studies at Qatar University, who has visited Britain, said terror attacks are permissible"

How can he be so stupid when many of those killed in the recent London bomb attacks were either muslims or else foreign nationals living in Britain! Doesn't he know that London is one of the most multi-racial cities on earth?

Oh and has he forgot the vast amount of aid donated by western nations to victims of last years tsumani, the majority of whose recipients were muslims. Without the billions sent in aid by western nations the death toll due to the asian tsunami would be in the millions!

We must question why young Muslim men who have had all the advantages that Britian can offer would do such a thing. It is too simplistic to say it's all about Palestine, the invasions in Iraq or Afghanistan. I speak with Muslims, devout and near secular every day and while they are concerned about these issues they are far more concerned about the same issues as the rest of us, the NHS, Crime, Education etc.

We need to look at what is influencing these young men, for a recent project I interviewed 200 Muslim boys and girls between the ages of 15 and 21. We were seeking their views on a town centre shopping development but the local authority I was contracted to also used it as an opportunity to asertain their opinions on wider political and socio-economic issues.

I expected for example a strong dislike of the USA, this wasn't the case. Many had been there on holiday and liked the country. Some had explored joining the UK armed services giving as a reason their knowledge of Islamic culture and how it could benefit the country, something that also surprised me. Words like "nutters", "extremists" and "beardies" were used when the fundamentalist clerics were discussed. The majority only attended Mosque to please parents and felt religion irrelevant to their lives. In fact what I found was a cross section of young people that could have been any religion, any colour and background. The focus of their lives was the opposite sex, travel, getting a good job and socialising.

The people responsible for the wave of terrorism are the extremists who are using these people as cannon fodder in their quest for an Islamic world,

In going out of their way to make these statements, Muslims unwittingly play into the hands of the people attempting to create the myth that "terrorism" is connected to Muslims.

This has yet to be proven in the cases of 911, Madrid, and London.

Elsewhere, Arabs are defending themselves from the Aggression of outside forces.

The IHEU is the "International Humanist and Ethical Union".
Who?
Yes, exactly. They're an NGO that was briefly fashionable in the 1970s, and that nobody's ever heard of nowadays.

They still have "consultative rights" at the UN though, and reportedly still hold lovely receptions in New York.

They held a meeting recently, and a bunch of extremist nutters turned up.

And now, over to Archie, with all of today's sport...

Have a look
