No room for terrorism in Islam: Grand Mufti
[The News (Pak)]  Grand Mufti of Soddy Arabia Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Sheikh... whose name sounds like it was designed by the Bureau of Redundancy Bureau ... said Islam is based on justice and equity, which admits of no terrorism, extremism and injustice, Geo News reported Monday. And all this time I thought it was based on complete submission to the will of Allan, as interpreted by the Profit and his subsequent holy men... Delivering Hajj sermon at Nmira Mosque at Mount Arafat, he said Allah Almighty endowed us with hosts of blessings and boons; guidance of Islam is one of them, adding Islam is not a theoretical religion; instead, it is a practicable deen (code of conduct). He said Islam impresses upon its followers to take better care of their families and societies. Islam has discrete ways of worshipping Allah and among them are, five-time prayers, fasting, zakat, charities and calling on people to do good and avoid bad. Islam forbids markup Sounds like he means "makeup," which would suggest that old pharts with hennaed beards or octogenarian princes dripping Grecian Formula would also be haram... altogether and prohibits extravagance, as it is a deen of moderation, he said. Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia stressed Islam intensely condemns terrorism and extremism, and that it warns strict punishment for those who unjustifiably spill blood and spread mischief on earth. All depends on your definition of "terrorism," doesn't it? Detonating oneself in a pizza parlor where the menu's in Hebrew obviously doesn't fall under the heading of "terrorism," since those guys are "freedumb fighters." All Jews, remember, from the baby trying to turn over in its crib to the doddering oldster trying to keep his foot out of the grave are legitimate targets to the dishdash set. Sending divine revelations and raising the Prophets was meant for spending the message of Allah's oneness; and this succession of guidance for human being is in progress, he said. The Grand Mufti said Allah sent the Last and Final Prophet (PTUI!) with complete code of conduct and this (shariah) is in harmony with human nature, as it caters to all man's natural and material needs. Human inner being (nafs) excites him to do evil. The Grand Mufti said the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) presented a comprehensive concept of ibadat. Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Sheikh said Allah Almighty conferred men with reason and consciousness so that he can differentiate between good and bad. We should respect each other.
