#3 ''I am sure such organisations were guided by Americans or Israelis whose one point programme is to distort Islam and project its teachings in poor light.''

Ya left out the Hindus, dickweed...

#4 Asked why did he not issue an edict, the Maulana said, ''I do not believe in issuing fatwas

Really?

Maulana Jawwad had no problem issuing this fatwa in 2002

renowned shia cleric maulana kalbe jawwad has also issued a `fatwa' directing them to quit the party or face boycott from the community. maulana jawwad has directed the community members to exert pressure on muslim legislators to quit `the power-hungry party hobnobbing with communal forces'. the shia cleric has called for their boycott if they show any reluctance in quitting the party. maulana jawwad alleged that the vajpayee-led nda government was part of the `international coalition against islam'. "state-sponsored atrocities against members of the minority community have unmasked vajpayee and the bjp,"

#5 He issued a fatwa against Coke

link

Muslim religious leaders and clerics in Lucknow have issued a fatwa against Coke, asking Muslims in the country and across the world to boycott the fizzy drink as they are certain that the words Coca-Cola when held against a mirror reads No Muhammad No Mecca in Arabic.

An enraged Maulana Kalbe Jawwad, religious head of the Shias, said: It is blasphemy. We will ask Muslims in the country and throughout the world to boycott the product until the company withdraws the offending words.

It's New Delhi television, tu3031. Surely it would be rude to insult the majority group in the country in which he is in the minority?

#8 I wonder what ispep means. It must be something really nasty too, in Arabic. Dr Pepper is a nasty stuff on its own without reading it backwards. ;-)

#9 Classic. Instead of appealing to the humanity of it all, he resorts to saying they haven't banned suicide attacks because the US and Israelis are paying them to discredit Islam. He'd rather make a ridiculous claim than work the problem.

The fact that the big clerics did nothing when Iraqis were murdered by religious zealots. Young Iraqis must see this.

If the Iraqi SF is good enough they should start retaliating for suicide bombers by striking back at the family of any known suicide bomber. Kill a couple of people in the Kingdom and in Libya for a start. I also don't understand why they haven't sued in Saudi court or in the Arab League.

#10 Suicide attacks un-Islamic: Shia cleric

Uh oh, now he's going to get blown up, thereby making it Islamic again.

#11 The clerics in India are reacting to a growing public perception that Muslims are terrorist supporters.
This may all be too little, too late...
