#1 Muslim scholars and thinkers from 40 countries meeting in Jordan are preparing a covenant banning violence and terrorist acts.

Expect the following conclusion.
Dar el Harb is violence and terrorism. The righteous have a right to self-defense.

#2 yes this is a toughie for the scholars

they only have a few ways to do this without abrogating normative sharia

they can say, in effect, 'don't kill the infidel now, wait until the time is right'

they can say, in effect, 'don't kill the infidel unless it is in self defense or defense of islam'

the problem is that they've done this so many times that the number of naive persons who are fooled by it decreases each time
