Islam - Why Muslims Don't Condemn bin Laden

Andrew Bolt has the story.

As I've warned for years, the duty of Muslim leaders is not just clear, but urgent.

They must take responsibility for the extremists in their midst and fight them. They must attack those who, like bin Laden, make so many Australians fear their faith. They must join themselves to us, and side with us against our enemies.

This is still so far off, given not what Muslim clerics say in surveys, but what they actually preach in mosques.

Here is more advice passed on by IISNA's website: "If you are sent to wage war against the Muslims, then it is not permissible for you to take part at all. Helping the kaafirs against the Muslims is a form of major kufr (blasphemy) which puts one beyond the pale of Islam."

Anyone can see the danger of such teaching when a bin Laden has declared a jihad against us. Until Muslim leaders have the courage to name bin Laden as our enemy and declare -- in a fatwa -- he is un-Islamic, we will get more such surveys.

And our corrosive fears will only grow.
