Here is how it works:
Mansur Escudero, head of the Federation of Islamic Religious Entities, called on clerics to formally condemn terrorism and pray for all terror victims. He went on to state, ''The terrorist acts of Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda organization ...
which result in the death of civilians, such as women and children ... are totally prohibited and are the object of strong condemnation within Islam.''
Sounds good so far.
But let's examine what this man did not say, as well as the timing of his little media-sensation fatwa.
This fatwa was timed to coincide with the 1-year anniversary of the bombing in Madrid. Sure, several hundred people died, but this is not the first time that hundreds, nay, thousands of people have died at the hands of Muslims merely because they weren't Muslim.
Therefore, one must ask why was there no such fatwa issued in the aftermath of 9-11? And why has no fatwa about the "...death of civilians, such as women and children'' ever been issued regarding the thousands upon thousands of Jewish/Israeli victims of genocidal terror ever been issued?
I will tell you why. This is al-Takeyya/Taqiyya at its most devious and deceptive. And the key word here is 'civilians.'
In radical Islam (Islamism), any Jew living in Israel is not considered either 'innocent' or a 'civilian.' Nor were the people living and working in America on 9-11. Islamists consider the 'Great Satan -- America,' and the 'Little Satan -- Israel,' to be enemy combatants.And this includes every man, woman or child, even babes in arms, even sleeping or in school or playing in playgrounds.[/color] This includes any and all who are not Islamists and who oppose being forced to kneel down and pay homage to Allah or his followers. In particular, Christians (whom they call 'Crusaders'), and Jews.[/color]
This also includes those of us who refuse to allow the Islamists to insidiously inject their politico-religious dogma into our way of life. And this especially includes Israel, whom the Islamists view as a polluting force in their quest for 'Arab unity' and a Judenrein Middle East.
So the fatwa issued by this Muslim cleric living in Spain was meant to put the free and civilized world into yet another coma. He was hoping we would see this supposedly 'peaceful and tolerant' religious edict and sing the praises of Islam and remind each other how it is a 'peaceful' religion, even though the word 'Islam' also means 'to submit,' and our utter and complete submission is what they are working towards.

Are you getting it yet?
This Muslim Scholar in spain, Ive never heard of him, so I cant comment on him.
As far as that doctrine you so eloquently explained, and attributed entirety of Islam, well thats simply not true. This view that since all Israelis are required to fight for the IDF, they are all to be counted as combatants, is held by Hizbollah (shia) and HAMAS(salafi), but there are many more palestinian scholars as well as scholars from else where who refute it.
Here are some links to Orthodox, qualified, and well known Muslim Scholars who contradict what you say we beleive. and since it is our belief, I think our words hold more weight than your claims of what we believe.
http://www.masud.co.uk/ISLAM/nuh/terrorism.htm - This link is written by Sheikh Nuh Ha Mim Keller, he is an American born convert to Islam, He is an expert in both hanafi fiqh, as well as shafi fiqh. He is also the Muqadam of Sheikh Abdur Rahman Ash-Shuguri (RA). This man is a major expert in Islam.
http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp? ... 9&CATE=124 - this article is written by another big name scholar and foremost expert on our religion. Farraz Rabbani.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/28220562/Fatwa-on-Terrorism - here is 600 page fatwa by Tahir ul Qadri, utterly dissmantling the Al Qaeda view of Jihad, and showing the traditional view taken by Muslim scholars throughout history.
Here are just 3 examples of Muslims claiming the exact opposite of what you claim. Now if you step back and look at things from balanced view point. There are several doctrinal issues that christians can use to refute Islam, and keep their christian kids from becoming "islamics", so why do so many christians reort to bold face lies when discussing what we believe? Lies are ussually used in last resort cases, but people like ahlui usae them right off the bat. Do these kind of people feel that the doctrinal Issues are far to weak to refute Islam, that they have to make stuff up and say we secretly belive it?
@Ahlui - you see the first two links I posted, study Islam from links Masud.com, marifah.net, and sunnipath.com. It will give you a much clearer understanding about what we actually believe than going to the websites which make you feel good when they defame and distort what we truly belive,
