| Muslim Clerics To Coordinate To Prevent Publication Of Conflicting Fatwas |
| 2008-03-05 |
| Not Muslim enough? Too Muslim? Decisions, decisions, decisions... Muslim clerics and researchers from 95 countries participating who participated in the recent Al-Azhar University alumni conference in Malaysia have drawn up a plan for coordination among Islamic religious institutions in the issuing of fatwas. Oh, I'm sure they'll get it all squared away... The move is aimed at eliminating the issuing of conflicting fatwas, which causes confusion in Muslim society. Confusion in Muslim society? Can ya beat that... |

| #8 Put the clerics in a cage, let them fight it out to the death, put the show on pay-per-view. More fun than WWE. Let the best fatwa win. |

| #7 BrerRabbit had the same idea as me - Can't Allen keep it straight? They don't like to 'tie down' Allen, so the fatwas flow freely, but with 21st-century communications, the conflicts were bound to show up. |

| #5 And this is different than SCOTUS allowing conflicting results on fundamentally similar issues stay in practice in different Appellate Districts? If it is a constitutional question, then it should apply across the entire country, why does SCOTUS allow 'findings' in one district to be substantially different than in another? Other than the obvious that members of the court can't count upon their view prevailing, thus denying a hearing before the court, leaving a portion of the country under rules that otherwise would not survive a full hearing. |

| #3 You'd think Allen wouldn't be saying something different to each of them. Unless maybe he's doing it on purpose. |

| #2 Boy, and to think that the .com name/goldrush was going to be intense. Just keep me up to date on the astronaught prayer mecca thing. meanwhile, the rest of the world marvels at the sheer coordination of technology despite people who don't practice what they preach, telling the rest of the world how to live. I swear, keeping up with being a devout mouselimb has got to be a full time job within itself - no wonder nothing gets done. |
