Yesterday the muslims of Spain , did a very interesting thing --- they issued a Fatwah - condemning Bin-Laden as a heretic . Logic follows that more "fatwah's " be issued around the world , and for what reason ? terrorism and savagry of course .
What makes this so interesting is , it is a "first " . Coming on the 1st anniversary of the 3/11 bombing in Madrid , a formal and meaningfull condemnation from islam itself , of wanton murder and slaughter .[Gee I'm still waiting for American muslims -who up until now have only given "lip service " to such notions .]
However , optimism should be tempered with knowledge of other related events and words being spoken throughout the muslim hierarchy . Such as a renewed longing for " Andalusia " .
So either a milestone has been reached in islam regarding awareness of their error in thought , or Spain is getting ready to roll-over , and their muslim population senses it .
Words , international law , civilised behavior etc ., are meaningless in islam , however "fatwahs" count .
