US Muslim scholars issue fatwa against terror

The leading United States council of Muslim scholars has issued a fatwa 
against terrorism, in the latest bid to distance the American Islamic 
community from extremism following the London attacks.

"All acts of terrorism targeting civilians are 'haram' (forbidden) in 
Islam," said the fatwa edict made by the Fiqh Council of North America 
(FCNA), a group of scholars which interprets Islamic law.

The order was endorsed by major US Muslim groups.

"It is haram for a Muslim to cooperate with any individual or group that is 
involved in any act of terrorism or violence," it said.

"It is the civic and religious duty of Muslims to cooperate with law 
enforcement authorities to protect the lives of all civilians."

Their move follows signs of frustrations from US Muslim leaders that 
repeated condemnations of terrorism in the wake of the London attacks, and 
the September 11 strikes in 2001 have failed to filter through to the 
community.

On Monday, a prominent US Muslim leader directly addressed suicide bombers, 
saying they were doing a great disservice to Islam.

"For the love of God, stop this madness," Mahdi Bray, executive director of 
the Muslim American Society (MAS) Freedom Foundation, said during a news 
conference in Washington.

The London attacks, and the fact that they were carried off by suicide 
attackers born and bred in Britain, has led to increased scrutiny from the 
US Muslim community.

There have also been fears that home-grown American Muslims could resort to 
terrorism on US soil, in the same way that born and bred British Muslims 
carried off the London attacks.

One US group, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), this month 
urged television stations to show its public service announcement, in which 
Muslim speakers argue that terror attacks defile their peaceful religion.

CAIR said Wednesday that the number of hate-related incidents reported 
against Muslims in the US state of California alone jumped by 39 per cent 
last year.
