FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


CAIR BACKS FATWA AGAINST TERROR
English, Arabic, Urdu radio anti-terror PSAs released


(WASHINGTON, D.C., 7/28/05) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations 
(CAIR) today offered its support for a fatwa, or Islamic religious ruling, 
against 
terrorism and extremism issued by the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) and 
endorsed by more than 120 U.S. Muslim groups, leaders and institutions. (The 
term "fiqh" refers to Islamic jurisprudence.)

The fatwa, released during a news conference this morning at the National 
Press Club in Washington, D.C., states in part:

"Islam strictly condemns religious extremism and the use of violence against 
innocent lives. There is no justification in Islam for extremism or terrorism. 
Targeting civilians' life and property through suicide bombings or any other 
method of attack is haram - or forbidden - and those who commit these barbaric 
acts are criminals, not 'martyrs'. . .In the light of the teachings of the 
Qur'an and Sunnah we clearly and strongly state: 1. All acts of terrorism 
targeting civilians are haram (forbidden) in Islam. 2. It is haram for a Muslim 
to 
cooperate with any individual or group that is involved in any act of terrorism 
or violence. 3. It is the civic and religious duty of Muslims to cooperate 
with law enforcement authorities to protect the lives of all civilians. We 
issue 
this fatwa following the guidance of our scripture, the Qur'an, and the 
teachings of our Prophet Muhammad - peace be upon him."

In a statement read at the news conference, CAIR Executive Director Nihad 
Awad said: "United, we can confront the terrorists and frustrate their goal of 
sparking an apocalyptic war between faiths and civilizations. . .The presence 
here today of American Muslim leaders indicates the willingness of our 
community 
to strengthen national security and to work with policy-makers to gain 
victory over this international menace to humanity." CAIR urged that the fatwa 
be 
read by Imams, or Islamic prayer leaders, at Friday prayers across the United 
States.

Awad also announced the release of radio versions of CAIR's 30-second "Not in 
the Name of Islam" television public service announcement (PSA) in English, 
Arabic and Urdu. The PSA campaign ties into CAIR's "Not in the Name of Islam" 
online petition drive designed to disassociate the faith of Islam from the 
violent acts of a few Muslims. To listen to the PSAs, go to:
