From The My Fatwa Is Bigger Than Your Fatwa Department:

Muslim Scholars Releasing Fatwa Against Terrorism

(CNSNews.com) - An Islamic advocacy group, tired of repeatedly answering the question, 'Why won't Muslim leaders condemn terrorism,' on Thursday will release a fatwa against terrorism and extremism. A fatwa is an Islamic religious ruling. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said the fatwa is being issued by the Fiqh Council of North America, and it is endorsed by major U.S. Muslim groups. Representatives of the Fiqh Council, an association of Islamic legal scholars that interprets Muslim religious law, and leaders of several leading American Muslim organizations will take part in the news conference. (The term "fiqh" refers to Islamic jurisprudence, CAIR said.) Also on Thursday, CAIR said it will release radio versions of its 30-second "Not in the Name of Islam" TV ads. The public service announcements will be in English, Arabic and Urdu. The "Not in the Name of Islam" campaign is intended to dissociate Islam from the violent acts of a few Muslims, CAIR said.
