Hi Everybody, http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2010/0519/Saudi-Arabia-religious-leaders-call-terrorism-financing-un-Islamic
"Saudi Arabia religious leaders call terrorism financing un-Islamic A government-appointed council of senior religious scholars in Saudi Arabia condemned terrorism financing and said it is forbidden by Islamic law. By Tom Peter, Correspondent / May 19, 2010 Amman, Jordan Saudi Arabia’s top religious leaders have condemned terrorism financing as forbidden by Islamic law, giving added religious weight and potentially larger punishments to existing civil statutes. But many analysts are skeptical it will amount to much. The government-appointed Council of Senior Ulema, which issued the resolution, holds little weight with those inclined to support militants. Some Saudi Arabians view their government as too eager to please the US in its quest to stop terrorism and question the religious and moral legitimacy of the monarchy. "Ulema" is an Arabic word the roughly translates as "Muslim scholar."" A nice gesture. If they keep it coming for ten years or so it might even make a difference. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
