Quote
Muslim clerics in Canada issued a fatwa on Saturday against honour killings, domestic violence and hatred of women.

“These crimes are major sins in Islam, punishable by the court of law and almighty Allah,” said Prof. Imam Syed Soharwardy, representing 34 clerics affiliated with the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada.

At first, I was concerned when I heard "fatwa," but upon further review...I'm actually okay with this. Granted, the ones who really need to hear it in the Middle East will dismiss it entirely, but I consider this a good start. Just wish it happened sooner.

Every time there's a terrorist bombing in the name of Islam, there needs to be a Fatwa issued.

Muslims hate honor! Feminism is killing people!

I thought it would be refreshing to bring in some good news for a change. I think being part of FSTDT, I have to remind myself that religion and douchebaggery don't necessarily go hand-in-hand. If you get to the point that you start hating religion just because it's religion, and don't look at the deeds of people, you become no better than the fundies we quote.

And there we have it: Muslims are not all chaotic evil. Islam is not a single undivided religion, there are many interpetations of islam just like christianity is a divided mess.

Now if we could get these people to be louder than the "Kill all unbelievers" groups of islam. (Or maybe it's just that media and islamophobics pay more attention to the more crazier parts of islam and ignore the sane muslims.)
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Don't you mean lawful evil? Making new laws is a big part of their job description.
