THE LEADER of a worldwide Muslim movement has issued a fatwa in Britain condemning terrorism and warning suicide bombers that they are “destined for hell”. Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, a leading cleric in Pakistan, has written a 600-page religious ruling that says “suicide bombings and attacks against civilian targets are not only condemned by Islam, but render the perpetrators totally out of the fold of Islam, in other words, to be unbelievers.”
A Fatwa is a ruling or pronouncement by an Islamic scholar. Unfortunately many people in the west have come to associate the term with a death sentence after the Salman Rushdie story of some years ago. In fact, this particular use of a Fatwa is extremely rare and the default association of the two is actually quite offensive to Muslims.
Pakistan-born Dr. Tahir ul-Qadri said there were no “ifs or buts” about terrorism, in a news conference attended by officers from London’s Metropolitan Police, lawmakers, charitable organisations and think-tanks.

Muhammad Tahir ul-Qadri, a leading scholar of Sufism, the tradition within Islam that focuses on peace and tolerance, isn't the first Islamic teacher to denounce acts of terrorism. But Qadri's 600-page judgment, or fatwa, is among the harshest denouncements of the theological arguments used by militant groups like al-Qaeda.

A leading Muslim scholar with a large following in Britain Tuesday issued a fatwa --- or Islamic religious ruling --- condemning global terrorism and suicide bombings in a "direct challenge to al-Qaida's violent ideology."

Suicide bombers have been described as the "heroes of hellfire" by a leading Muslim scholar in a fatwa condemning terrorists as the enemies of Islam. Pakistan-born Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri said there were no "ifs or buts" about terrorism and such acts had no justification in the name of Islam.
Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri says the 600-page fatwa bans suicide bombing "without any excuses, any pretexts, or exceptions." He is the founder of Minhaj-ul-Qur'an, a worldwide movement that promotes a non-political, tolerant Islam.
The leader of a worldwide Muslim movement with thousands of followers in the UK is due to issue a fatwa - or Islamic religious ruling - condemning terrorism and warning suicide bombers that they are "destined for hell".

The scholar describes al-Qaeda as an "old evil with a new name" that has not been sufficiently challenged.
Målet med forordningen, der bliver offentliggjort i London, er at overbevise unge muslimer om, at de skal vende ekstremismen ryggen. Muhammad Tahir ul-Qadri har arbejdet for at fremme fred og dialog mellem religionerne i 30 år. Og det er ikke den første fatwa, der er udstedt mod terrorisme.
Ein pakistanischer Gelehrter, der Sufi-Imam Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri veröffentlicht heute in London eine 600 Seiten starke theologische Herausforderung der Ideologie Osama Bin Ladens. Ul-Qadri ist keineswegs der erste Gelehrte, der sich gegen Al-Kaida stellt. Doch er erhebt den Anspruch, dies gründlicher zu tun als alle seine Vorgänger: eine Punkt-für-Punkt-Widerlegung des Bin Ladenschen Anspruchs, im Namen des Islams zu handeln.

Qadri said the Al-Qaeda has not been sufficiently challenged and that his global ruling against terrorism completely dismantles the banned terror organisation's violent ideology.
