#1 In a twisted way, this is good news. Abdul Aziz al-Muqrin is forcing moderate and reasonable clerics (if such species exist!) to stand up to terrorism or cave in. If the clerics stand up, then the allies will provide protection and we have some on our side. If the clerics do not stand up to the terrorists, then they are OUR enemies, too.

Mr Rock and Mr. Hardspot, meet Mr. Cleric.
How do you do, Mr. Cleric.
Uh, yeah, er, howdy.....*Allah save me*

Heh heh

#2 al-Muqrin calls for AQ to target Moderate Clerics

Good luck with that. They can make themselves pretty scarce. Maybe you should stick to hunting snipe.

#4 Wow. This is pretty stupid on Al-Q's part. Where they before would hide behind the moderate muslims now they are actively targetting the moderates. Kind of like dismantling your own armor.

This is what happens when you are reduced to your second (or third) string team.

Do you think the moderates will now denounce the radical muslims?

#5 Shouldn't they issue some kind of ~~fat one~~ fatwa defining moderate cleric. Otherwise.... nevermind.

#6 Whoever alQ's puppet-master is these days must believe they are at the end-game if they are going to try to smoke moderate clerics.

Wonder how long they'll stay 'moderate'.

#7 If ( I said IF) there is such a creature as a "moderate cleric" and one who has, to date, sincerely spoken out against radical muslims, then with the issuance of this fatwa we're never hear from them again. It's of no importance in the long run. Sides were chosen on 9-12-01. I thnk the so-called moderates have already thrown in with the wrong side.

#8 e-larson...I believe you are right and this is the end game. All pretenses aside.....
