Muslim Countries and organization are not denouncing terrorism... according to kqrs

Theme: Misinformation with a touch of Xenophobia

Leading Muslim scholars across the world are condemning those who use
their religion to commit acts of terror and violence, says the US State
Department. The department's spokesman Sean McCormack made this
observation while commenting on a fatwa issued here on Thursday that
condemned extremist attacks on innocent people as un-Islamic.

Eighteen leading jurists, who issued the fatwa, and representatives of
more than 120 Muslim groups representing all sects and schools of
thoughts, also said that Muslims in general abhorred the behaviour of
people like Osama bin Laden, Zarqawi and others belonging to terrorist
groups.

Mr McCormack recalled that King Abdullah of Jordan recently hosted a
meeting of Sunni and Shia clerics in Amman, who declared that those who
used the Islamic faith as a justification for acts of terror did not
represent Islam and Muslims.

The fatwa, issued in Washington, 'is a noteworthy effort and
development,' he said but made it clear that it was 'a private
effort' and had nothing to do with any government. Meanwhile, at
mosques across the US prayer leaders read out the fatwa in their Friday
sermons. They said violence against innocent people was forbidden and
it was the duty of Muslim leaders to dissuade, speak out against such
events.
