| Qatar Shariah Court ruling on Jihad |
| 2003-07-15 |
| In its recent Fatwa, the Shariah Court in Qatar has banned the travel of young Muslims to another country for Jihad without having the permission of their parents. âIt is considered against Islam to travel to another country for Jihad without permission from oneâs parentsâ, the Sharia Courts said in statement yesterday. "Dad, can I go to Afghanistan for the jihad?" "Ask your mother, Iâm busy." Quoting the Holy Quran, sayings of Prophet Mohammed and several Islamic scholars, the Sharia Court said in its Fatwa that young Muslims should know the conditions of Jihad and the provisions of Islamic thinking before leaving their country. Is there a test? The Court also said the permission of âthose charged with authority among Muslimsâ is necessary to initiate Jihad. Like the Sharia Court, for example. |

| #3 ...the Sharia Court said in its Fatwa that young Muslims should know the conditions of Jihad and the provisions of Islamic thinking before leaving their country. Conditions? Try to kill everything that isn't Islamic, and maybe even some things that are. We'll let you know. As far as our thinking... we're nuts. Keep it to yourself. It'll be our little secret. |

| #2 Devout Muslims are actually if this - following the ruling of "those charged with authority among Muslims" against 'preemptive jihad' - is what they're devout to ... (sorry about the grammatical FUBAR) |
