why the religious heads of Islam do not issue fatwas against Islamic terrorists?

Question

they issued fatwa against salman rushdi. in india one man in drunken state said tripple talak and next morning he repented and wanted to live with his wife. but the local religious heads of islam issued a directive called fatwa to separation of the couple. in another instance one father in law raped his daughter in law and the imams, and local shariat issued a fatwa to the hapless woman to separate from her husband and live with her father in law who brutally raped her as her husband. but the so called religious heads of islam did not issue any fatwa to the islamic terrorists who caused for the death of innocent civilians in 9/11, mumbai blasts, july 11 blasts in the uk. recently the uk intelligence foiled their attempts other wise so many people might have dead. why the imams and other religious heads of islam maintain stoic silence and issue a directive to the islamic terrorists to shun the path of violence and declare it as not islamic .and would be declared as not muslims ,

Answer 1

What you have stated in your narrative is 100% correct and has the answer to your question. The person who issues fatwa is supposed to be religious scholar who is authorized to do so. We are aware that underneath a lamp which provides radiance there is darkness. Scholastic knowledge that they learn is what has been compiled or documented in 7/9th century of Arabian peninsula and they by and large have no exposure to modern sciences. It is unfortunate but it is true. The laws have always to change as society transforms itself. But Islamic laws/practices are frozen as ordained in Quran and Hadith and no one has the authority to change them. Hence the conflict and delivery of seemingly ridiculous fatwas!Islam also ordains that every Muslim is duty bound to fight alongside other Muslims who are fighting a religious war against injustice and exploitation. In fact most clerics are known to incite and drive the youth to insanity to fight these terrorist battles in their Friday sermons known as Khutba. They are the cause of the problem. How can they be part of the solution to the problem? This is not to say that all clerics are evil. There are some who want to show the right path but are outnumbered and outmanoeuvered and hence ineffective.

Answer 2

This lack of open outrage and dissapproval in the islamic/arab community is precisely what is fostering the distrust of muslims in general in the western world.
It is much like if a group of white southern US men lynch a black man, and all the rest of the white town folks say is "we don't think that was the right thing to do, however that darky had it coming" What the heck is the rest of the population supposed to think of these people??

Answer 3

Because the religious heads of Islam are afraid of the terrorists. They know that they could be their next target, because terrorists have no loyalty to anyone, no matter what they claim. That is why it is so important that we fight these people to the bitter end. I am not pro-war, but I am pro-America and I don't want to wake up one morning and find out that all my freedoms are gone because some group of radical terrorists have bombed us to our knees.

Answer 4

The religious heads of islam need to step down....they are teaching tolerance of terrorists instead of doing what any other religious group would do....which is to denounce the terrorists.

Answer 5

The same way the vatican seems to not issue anything against Priests that molest children or Christians don't issue something against people who protest at funerals, harass gay people, people who blow up abortion centers or Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson?

Answer 6

religious heads are trained and doctored right from their childhood for such thoughts. sort of shops are of these thoughts they have opened. and these are running since decades. it is difficult to give such fatwas which are ultimately good for poor, pious and innocent true Muslims. but Allah knows why they don't give true minds to them.
