We need more of this...


A group of imams from across Canada issued a fatwa Friday to condemn any attacks by extremists against Canada or the United States to be attacks against the 10 million Muslims living in North America.

In a joint statement issued by the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada, the imams state: "We, the undersigned Imams, are issuing the following Fatwa in order to guide the Muslims of North America regarding the attacks on Canada and the United States by the terrorists and the extremists. In our view, these attacks are evil and Islam requires from Muslims to stand up against this evil."

That's what I call progress. I don't know how much good it will do, but I'm hopeful.
