Moderate Muslim Majority Rejects Terrorism!

To:  the Islamic Ummah

     Firmly believing in Allah's divine mercy and compassion, and sharing his love for all his creatures, the undersigned members of the peace loving and moderate majority of Muslims, revolted and repulsed by blasphemous bloodshed in Allah's name, reject as un-Islamic conduct all acts of terrorism including but not limited to:

* school bus attack at Nahariya/Avivim (1970) which killed nine innocent children
* Ma'alot massacre (1974)
* Karni crossing bombing (2005)
* World Trade Center attacks
* Madrid rail bombing
* London rail bombing
* Beslan massacre
* genocide in Darfur
* Bali night club bombings
* decapitation of Danny Pearl
* decapitation of Nick Berg

     We condemn, regardless of the identity of the victims, terrorism in all its forms, bombings, shootings, knifings, hijackings, abductions and mass casualty attacks because they do unjust injury to innocent people and irreparable damage to Islam.

     We call for the exclusion of incitement to terrorist violence from our madrassah curriculum, kittab & kutbah and from the mass media of all Islamic nations.

     We call for withholding Zakat from all organizations which teach, incite, facilitate or organize & perform acts of terrorism.

     We call on all Imams and Mullahs to fill their kutbah with Allah's love, mercy and guidance, not with blood thirsty calls for Jihad. We call on the Ulema to reject, as inspired by Shaytan,[22:52] the ayats & ahadith used by radical extremists to rationalize their terrorism.

     All this we declare on our own free will, without any hesitation, mental reservation, kitman or al-taqeya whatsoever, by him in whose hand our souls are!

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
