#1 here is the next to last bit of the Fatwa per Memri),

"...We beseech Allah to [bless] this good country of Saudi Arabia, and all the Muslim lands, with righteousness, justice, providence and unity, and to improve the state of mankind as a whole, so as to carry out justice and spread righteousness."

Key point is that whatever else may be in this, this section seems to allow continued terrorism (or as they call it "active resistance") in non Muslim lands.

No, this might actually be saying something.

We will see. It has only been out a month. Lets see what happens over the next year or so.

#6 Citing evidence from the Koran and the Hadith, the fatwa stipulates that funding terrorism is forbidden not only in Muslim countries but everywhere, and that those who aid terrorism are just as culpable as those who actually carry it out.

Seems like I've heard that sometime before...maybe in 2001.
