Mecca head calls Muslims to fight terror

[darrels joy]

Mecca’s top Imam the Grand Mufti Abdel Aziz has called on Muslims to combat all forms of terrorism.

The declaration is believed to be the first of its kind at Haj by the religious leader.

During the Sermon the Grand Mufti also called for peace and tolerance.

“ Islam is a religion of peace, mercy and justice. It preserves all kinds of rights, among them human rights,’‘ he said.

Today, some two to three million Muslim pilgrims have been making their way to Mount Arafat to meditate and pray to Allah as part of the Haj ceremony.

Retracing the same route taken by Mohammad around 14 centuries ago, the faithful will pray until sunset before moving under night sky to begin the ritual stoning of the devil tomorrow.

With some worshippers saying they will pray for the end of the global financial crisis the climax of the event comes with believers walking around the Kabba in the Grand Mosque.

If I was a synical person, I might want a translation of more complete section from another source.

Otherwise, check for flying pigs and things freezing over.

Muslims like Grand Mufti Abdel Aziz talk a good game but that's all it is; talk. They never take any action. If they want to put an end to terrorism then they should dismantle Al Quaeda and the Taliban, disarm everyone who's not in the regular national armed forces, and arrest anyone and everyone who starts up any such talk of jihads and killing in the name of Allah. Plus they ought to learn to develop a sense of humor about those cartoons they deem "insulting" to Allah or Mohammed, and remember the 11th Commandment; "Keep thy religion to thyself!"

You are correct! Just a smoke screen to keep the liberals happy.
