SUBJOE....yes, I read it and I think its a pretty good guidance for the moslems. No, I did not see it publicized in March...link? Yes, I think there will be detractors on this fatwa from outside and inside islam. Yes, I think there should be a corresponding reply in kind by true Christian leaders. No, I'm not really paranoid about the muzzies. Yes, I thought you et al would not approve of the article....that in itself is illustrative.

So, you accept then, his premise that it is quite understandable that the terrorists do what they do, because they have been driven to it by western nations. Even though they should be condemned for what they do.
I agree, it is great that he comes out and says that the thugs should be eliminated from the face of the earth (see the CBC video of him - also note that he lives in Canada, keeps his location secret, and would only meet with CBC reporters at a secret location). I'm saying that he should have left it at "The thugs should be eliminated, they are perverting Islam." Rather than saying over and over that the west and non-mohammedeans are to blame. By including that, he muddies the waters and gives credence to the thugs at the same time he condemns them. Mixed message there.
Links? Can't figure out how to search on google yet, eh?

So, according to you, he must not have issued it if it is reported in Jihadwatch)

Yeah, you are right
"This is a major event scarcely covered by mass media or by Christian organizations...for some reason." Nothing at all on it. Had to dig way back to the first and second pages of a google search to get those links from unknown rags like Times, Newsweek, MSNBC, Washington Post, Canadian Broadcasting, and CNN. Fifth or sixth rate bird cage liners with almost no readership, all of them.
I didn't bother with all the pro-mohammedean publications and sites, those were a given.
ADDED: By the way, I heard it back in March on several of the SF Bay Area TV and radio news programs. It was also in the local paper, either Reuters or AP sourced.
