#1 The "Association of Muslim Scholars" will have th burden of the entire Islamic religion resting on their answer.

The militants asked whether Islam permits the kidnapping and killing of foreigners who work for occupation forces

Hmmm - There's that religion of "peace" again.

I'm wondering if some of those soldiers in North Ossetia will ask the senior Russian Orthodox priests if coating the dead Chechen terrorist's bodies with lard as an incendiary before the bodies are cremated violates any New Testament passage?

Are we all curious?

#2 It is a lot easier to do soemthing and explain why you did it than to do nothing and try to explain why.

So, I s'pect even amoungst devoutly Russian Orthodox FSB/Army guys, they're not too worried about being caught putting wimmins' panties on the heads of these jihadis.

The Association of Muslim Scholars had no immediate comment.

This is a very difficult question for a Muslim scholar to answer when the entire world is watching.

#4 "a slain Egyptian... his hands bound and signs of a beating on his corpse... It was not immediately clear if he was a kidnapping victim"
The alternative is what? He volunteered?

Not used to working under pressure, eh?

#7 The Assoc of Muslim Scholars are bought and paid for Baathists. They used to be on Sadaam's payroll. These guys are tools who will issue fatwa's for money. They are highly political unlike their Shiite counterparts. (My info comes from the blog of an Iraqi prof of ME studies at Berkeley. He hates the US as do most of his posters. The terrorists in Iraq are only nationalists fighting invaders, etc. Regardless, some good info. Sorry, the link is on my work computer.)
