#1 âIt became a must that Islamic scholars should come forward to make clear that Islam has nothing to do with that (killing),â

If they want to be killed themselves

#2 what do they have to say about the fact that virtually all terrorism is perpetrated by muslims, and virtually all global inter-factional fighting involves muslims as one or both parties involved? And, virtually all of this is in the name of islam.

What do they have to say about the massive numbers of muslims -- perhaps even the majority -- who support this violence?

Islamist militants -- the deviant group?

Perhaps not.

Perhaps it is these islamic scholars who have misconstrued what islam is.

Islam=violent religion. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck . . .
