#1 âWe have drafted the fatwa in the manner that it condemns suicide bombings in Pakistan and not anywhere else,â

So, the ROW is suppose to take hits from them but be denied the snarky laugh at their fratricide?

#2 condemns suicide bombings in Pakistan and not anywhere else
Wow. A solution with the wisdom of ~~Saudis~~ Solomon. The Saudi funded madrassa educations are really paying off.

#3 So it took 5 months and probably thousands of staff hours to come up with a fatwa that only bans suicide attacks against places of worship in one country.

Wow.

#4 "...declaring suicide attacks on places of worship forbidden in Islam..."

Yeah, cuz you know, there have been so many suicide bombings at mosques.

Any synapses firing today, Imams?

#5 They didn't say attacks on places of worship were forbidden, just suicide attacks. So detonating a car bomb outside the mosque, then machine gunning the people when they run out is still ok.

#6 Ah, mental midgets muftis articulate the breathtaking beauty of Paki religious intellectual culture. There are so many unanswered questions left in the wake of this fatwa. Aspiring Jihadis and sociopathic murderers need to know the rules governing their conduct. Is the fatwa retroactive so as to deny the 72 trolls to pre fatwa boomers? No boom boom now but non-suicide attacks still fall in that happy grey area? How is "suicide" defined? Is it by the reasonable jihadi or average Paki Mahmood standard? Do you have to intend to die in the attack? If you engage in an attack from which you cannot reasonably expect to withdraw or escape safely is it "suicide"? What is the "place of worship"? Is it up to ten feet from the front doors? Does it include a place where apostates (we kkeeeeel you) are or only if and where they worship and only at such times that they worship? If a religious leader is present and engaged in worship away from a mosque or temple can that make any place one of worship? What are the bounds of such a place of worship? Does ignorance of the fatwa relieve a boomer of responsibility for violating the fatwa? etc etc etc
