An influential Muslim scholar is to issue in London a global ruling against terrorism and suicide bombing.So far so good as it stands. The "influential" Muslim scholar has condemned the Jihadists' methods, but is he also condemning the goals?

I doubt he can condemn their goals, which, as I understand it, are to bring the entire world into the House of Islam. This might be comparable to asking the Pope to say that everyone should NOT be Christian.
ReplyDeleteA good point, but I would answer that the Pope is offering people the invitation to join the Body of Christ of their own free will while the Jihadists desire to subjugate, convert, and enslave the infidels under a universal Caliphate set firmly in the 7th century and subjecting Muslims to a life more suited to that of a concentration camp. Whether this goal is achieved by the gun or by stealth, it is still the goal of the totalitarian and the tyrant.
ReplyDeleteMy question is still, does the scholar condemn this goal?
Well, when you put it *that* way:-P. Yeah, I doubt he opposes that goal:-(
