How many times have we heard this before? The statement from the clerics is just a blanket statment saying terrorism is un-islamic but do not prove how. If they are really sincere and can use the quaran and hadiths to back up their claim then all the more power to them. National Post
I guess until I see massive riots against terrorism in the muslim world I'm going to be a little skeptical of these claims.
LUCKNOW, India -Senior Muslim clerics in India rejected terrorism as anti-Islamic yesterday, despite receiving threats from an Islamist group. Khalid Rasheed, head of the oldest madrassa in Lucknow, northern India, said the Islamist group Indian Mujahideen made the threats last week in an e-mail to local media in which they also claimed responsibility for the bombs in Jaipur, western India, which killed 63 people. "We will continue to not only raise our voice against terror but also repeatedly educate the Muslim masses about the grossly un-Islamic practices adopted by terrorist bodies," Mr. Rasheed said, adding they had received support from the influential Darool-Uloom Deoband madrasa, whose strict interpretation of Islamic law is said to have inspired the Taliban.
