Listen Closer to Imams Words

Islamic scholars and leaders meet in London's largest mosque to discuss the terrorists attacks that occurred in London on July 7.

This is the enlightening statement that came from this meeting:

"There should be a clear distinction between the suicide bombing of those who are trying to defend themselves from occupiers, which is something different from those who kill civilians, which is a big crime," said Sayed Mohammed Musawi, the head of the World Islamic League in London.

However, Hani Sibai, Director of London's Al-Maqreze Centre for Historical Studies, had this to say during an interview on Al-Jazeera TV on July 8, 2005:

Al-Siba'i: "The term 'civilians' does not exist in Islamic religious law. Dr. Karmi is sitting here, and I am sitting here, and I'm familiar with religious law. There is no such term as 'civilians' in the modern Western sense. People are either of Dar Al-Harb or not.

So, who are you going to believe, the imam that states it's okay to kill civilians that are occupiers of Islamic lands but not civilians in other countries, or the one that states all civilians are open game because they are part of Dar Al-Harb, which translated means House of War: countries that are in the control of infidels and have not yet been subdued by Islam.

It all depends on what Sayed Musawi means by "occupiers". Is he referring to Dar Al-Harb? In that case the world's civilian population is fair game to homicide bombers because one of the root beliefs of Islam is for the world to be dominated by it.

But I have a sneaky suspicion that he is referring to the cowardly homicide bombing jihadis who terrorize Israel on a daily basis.

In either case, whether one listens to Musawi or to Sibai, the unholy murdering jihadis are going to continue kill innocent people who are trying to go about their daily lives. Islam's root belief is the total domination of the world and while it may seem far fetched that this is the goal of Islamic extremists, this threat is real. Make no mistake about it. Until moderate Muslims condemn homicide bombers, whether in the United States, London, Israel, Madrid, Thailand and other places across the globe, true reformation of Islam cannot begin and innocents will continue to be slaughtered.
