This is a follow-up to my last question about why there are no fatwas against Bin Laden.
Muslims issue thosands of death fatwas. Most people know that Islam is a religion where clergy can resort to issuing death decrees against SPECIFIC PEOPLE. Thats the whole point. The Quran is already exists to give guidance. Fatwas are needed to specifically identifying current people or problems and how Islamic law should be applied to it.
Death Fatwas are issued against specific people who are believed to slander Islam and thus God. NOW understand this...follow close. In Islam, anyone who misrepresents Islam has committed the worst act. Muslims complain all the time about how terrorism gives their great religion a bad image.
So the acts of Bin Laden and other terrorists have massively impacted the worlds view of Islam. Consider the Euro-Union Watchdog reports that show anti-islamic sentiment through the roof.

THUS, if Bin Laden's acts in the name of Islam really were against Islam, there is absolutely no question about it, we should have seen literally millions of enraged death fatwas naming Bin Laden.
Of course, this assumes his acts were perceieved by the Islamic community as "Haram" or misrepresentative of Islam.
Since Bin Ladens acts had such a massive impact of the image of Islam, if they were truely against Islam, the sky would rain with fatwas and Islamic rage.
REMEMEBER..death fatwas are ALREADY ISSUED. SO PEOPLE WHO MISREPRESENT ISLAM ALREADY GET THESE FATWAS ISSUED AGAINST THEM.
GET IT???
