Grand Mufti Condemns London Explosions
2005-07-09
Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al Alsheikh, the Grand Mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has condemned the terrorist acts which took place in London on Thursday. In his statement, Al Alsheikh made it clear that killing of innocent people and destruction of properties run counter to the teachings of Islam. 'It is time for the Muslims to announce that Islam has nothing to do with such vicious acts', he said.

#10  why do I think that even with all this so called condemnation, they still have a sense of pride about this?

maybe it's because they do

maybe it's because they have nothing else to be proud of

#8  Come on, you can do it: a little fatwa. Just a little one, that says "Muslims must not support such acts, and must report suspects to the authorities, even if the government is infidel." Come on, sheikh. . . You are serious about this not being Islamic, aren't you?

#7  The Saudis will use English words any way they can to avoid ending up with the two holiest craters in Islam, but they haven't beheaded enough terrorist supporters to convince me.
