Hundreds of Muslim Scholars Sign Letter Officially Denouncing ISIS as 8216 UnIslamic 8217

A newly-drafted letter, crafted and signed by 125 Sunni Muslim scholars and dignitaries from around the world, is directed at ISIS’s self-described “Caliph Ibrahim,” also better known as Al-Baghdadi.

The letter decries the so-called “Caliph’s” criminality, and the misnamed “Islamic State’s” crimes against humanity.

Furthermore, it takes ISIS to task on the issue of the Qur’an and Hadith literature itself, calling them out for their blatant disregard for traditional, or even literal interpretation of the religious works they use to justify their terrorism.

Pundits in the West have continuously raised the concern that “if Muslims really oppose ISIS, why don’t we see them speaking out against them” and “where are the fatwas against ISIS?”

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

The answer is that these denunciations are pouring in by the hundreds, throughout the Muslim world, and in by Muslim scholars in the West. Perhaps the problem is that many in the United States and Europe simply aren’t looking for their news in the right places.

Don't forget Saudi Arabia is a major sponsor of the rebel-terrorist groups fighting in Syria and Iraq against the Shiites.

Now the Islamic State is so powerful and independent that Sunni Saudi Arabia and this particular Saudi sheik is frightened that IS poses a real threat to Saudi Arabia itself, hence the current criticism.

Islamic State does represent the current version of Islam at its most frightening and aggressive, make no mistake. Pious staments from sheiks and others will make little difference.

Of course the useful donkeys still don't understand what is really happening and still think that the Islamic State is not Islamic...whatever that is supposed to mean!

So you consider Islamic clerics, scholars and leaders to be "useful donkeys"? I suppose you are some sort of expert on Islam?

It's not a matter of being an expert, it's a matter of understanding the complex issues, which clearly some don't.

"Useful donkeys" are people from the West who swallow Islamic propaganda hook, line and sinker.They are merely helping the enemy.

...and clearly, you don't.

So which Muslim is telling the truth ? Which can be trusted in this instance ?

Someday I hope to see massive protest against these muslim extremist...I wont hold my breath

 

[saveliberty]

Might be the praying five times a day to Allah thing?

...or using the Koran to justify their actions.

...or calling it Jihad.

...or calling themselves Muslims.

...or instituting Sharia Law on their captured territories.

You'd think a reasonable person would at least consider them possibly Muslim. Not Luddly...

It is a good sign at least one Islamic leader is standing up. Hopefully others will follow. Hey look at Jroc's post!

Britain’s Largest Mosques Condemn “Un-Islamic” ISIS Radicals

Britain’s 12 largest mosques announced on Wednesday they “condemn” the actions of militant group Islamic State today, telling Newsweek the group is “un-Islamic to the core”.

"Leading Islamic centres condemn the inexcusable actions of the group calling itself “Islamic State” (IS), and the indefensible murders of James Foley and Steven Sotloff. We hope that any other hostages who may be held by IS will be released unharmed," the statement reads

"We urge our youth not to contemplate going to Iraq or Syria to join IS or any similar groups that spread violence and hatred, nor to give them any kind of support whatsoever."

British Imams appeal to ISIS terrorists to release aid worker Alan Henning Daily Mail Online

More than 100 Muslim leaders have signed a statement pleading with ISIS to release British aid worker Alan Henning.

Mr Henning is currently facing death at the hands of ISIS's British executioner 'Jihadi John' and was paraded before the cameras in a video of fellow hostage David Haines's murder.

Dozens of Imams from around the UK today criticised the terror group as 'monsters' for the brutal murder of Mr Haines and insisted killing Mr Henning would be 'un-Islamic'.

Some two thousand mosques across Germany were called upon by top Muslim clerics to use their Friday rituals to rally against the Islamic State and speak out against beheadings in Syria and Iraq.

On Friday, the chairman of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, Aiman Mazyek, told the country’s Muslim population that they shouldn’t stay quiet about the misuse of the Islamic faith, describing the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) as “in truth terrorists and murderers" who have dragged Islam “through the mud.”

Muslims in Europe rally against extremist violence

Muslims in Europe rally against extremist violence - CBS News

The same debate played out elsewhere. The hashtag campaign #notinmyname - or #pasenmonnom in French - initiated by British Muslims who wanted to show their opposition to extremist violence, spawned a #MuslimApologies backlash by those who thought the sense of regret was overwrought. Tweets "apologized" for algebra, soap and coffee.

"Nowhere does the Quran say other religions or nations must be attacked. Cutting people's heads off is really the most despicable. If airstrikes can stop these fundamentalist, aggressive ideas from spreading, I am all for it," said 65-year-old Enes Mustafic.

Another congregant, Omer Jamak, questioned the devotion and even sanity of anyone who thought otherwise.

"According to Islam, nobody is allowed to be evil to others. Nobody has the right to do such a thing. I am against everything they do down there like every sane person is," Jamak said.

I'm not impressed either. So many innocent have been killed in months past, and all of a sudden these Muslims are protesting against ISIS. The Muslims certainly were quick enough to rise up and protest against Israel right away where Gaza was concerned so how come they couldn't have quickly protested against ISIS when ISIS started up with their killings?
