#1 I figger the ten "Islamic Scholars" who said this are now on somebody's hit list. Can't be flying in the face of all the other fatwas amd tradition and stuff like that there.

#2 The only way this will have any value is if they get buy-in from Islamic political organizations around the world. That is, having organizations from the Muslim Brotherhood to the Islamic Courts of Somalia endorsing this decision.

Otherwise it is just another fatwa.

#3 I wish this would catch on. The mutilation is criminal and barbaric. Disgusting tradition

#4 As a result, the custom can no longer be practiced by Muslims. Now awareness of
this decision has to be spread in the 33 affected countries.

In other words, it will be going on until I become a grandmother. Maybe a great-grandma. The 3458th most high ranking imam will declare it a zionist plot and we're back to square one.

#5 one step at a time

Next step would be for several heads of State to make a speech using the new fatwa.

Once that's done, the world needs to request a similar fatwa on honor killings (another even nastier aspect of modern Islamic culture which is not mentioned in the Koran nor in any of the strong hadiths but derives from the general anti female tone of many other Koranic verses as well as support in the Hadiths, Sharia, etc.).
