Ex-Mufti Proposes Intâl Council Against U.S. Colonialism
Only three days after he was sacked as Mufti of Russia for urging Muslims to declare Jihad against the American occupation forces in Iraq, Tala't Tagudin called for establishing a world Shura (consultative) council to stand against Washingtonâs colonial policies.We have one, Mufti. It's called the UN. Works well, doesn't it? In a statement circulated Wednesday, April 16, Tagudin exhorted the different Islamic, Christian, Jewish authorities in Russia and worldwide to form such an international council to moot the current situation on the world arena and to grind to cessation the policies of âcowboyâ U.S. President George Bush. "Yeeee-haw! Gonna lasso me a mufti!" He invited all world religious trends to huddle together in the first week of May in Moscow, the Vatican, Macca Al-Mokkarama or occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem). Tagudin called on the different Islamic, Christian, Jewish authorities to vocalize opposition to Bushâs policies. He also prayed for Allah Almighty to stop wars and military operations which claim the lives of millions of peoples and exhorted all faithfuls to pray for peace in Iraq. "And please, God, kill all the Americans!" The Russian Islamic Fatwa Council has declared as invalid the fatwa issued by Tagudin on Jihad against the U.S. The Council has refused to keep Tagudin in charge of any Islamic organization in Russia. The legal committee affiliated to the Russiaâs Mufti Council claimed the âemotionalâ declaration of Jihad by a high ranking religious official like Tagudin was a major sin that could have brought about disasters and indulged Russia in a third world war. But that doesn't matter, as long as you can wear a turban and wave a gun and holler "jihad!" Kinda makes you miss old Brezhnev, with his penchant for tossing people into psych wards. At least this guy's a real nut. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-04-17 |
