The ''Fatwa on Terrorism and Suicide Bombings'' is a 600-page (Urdu version), 512-page (English version) Islamic decree by scholar Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri which demonstrates from the Quran and Sunnah that terrorism and suicide bombings are unjust and evil, and thus un-Islamic. It was published in London as a book.〔(Fatwa on Terrorism & Suicide Bombings BOOK )〕 The English edition was published in the UK by Minhaj-ul-Quran Publications. Qadri released the fatwa on 2 March 2010.〔(Influential Pakistani cleric based in GTA )〕 This fatwa is a direct refutation of the ideology of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. It is one of the most extensive Islamic anti-terrorism rulings, an "absolute" condemnation of terrorism without "any excuses or pretexts" which goes further than ever and declares that terrorism is kufr under Islamic law.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sheikh issues fatwa against all terrorists )〕 The launch was organised by Minhaj-ul-Quran UK. Qadri said during the launch that "Terrorism is terrorism, violence is violence and it has no place in Islamic teaching and no justification can be provided for it, or any kind of excuses or ifs or buts." ==Overview== The fatwa received widespread media attention and was positively covered by the international press.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tahir ul-Qadri and the difficulty of reporting on fatwas )〕 According to CNN, experts see the fatwa as a significant blow to terrorist recruiting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Some experts see fatwa as significant blow to terrorist recruiting )〕 CNN's Amanpour show added the fatwa summary to its website and declared it to be fatwa for peace,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fatwa for Peace )〕 while the US State Department declares the fatwa to be significant step in taking Islam back from terrorists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Muslim leader's edict decries terrorism - Washington Times )〕 Before it had been released, Douglas Murray described the Fatwa on Terrorism, in an article in the ''Evening Standard'', as "potentially important", although he said "A single-fatwa will not change the level of denial and self criticism inherent in so much of modern Islam".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Is this a triumph for the Islamic peacemakers? )〕 ITV news channel questioned the credibility of the fatwa and asks if it was not by the British government because senior counter-terrorism officials from Scotland Yard and MI5 were present at the launch.〔(Fatwa condemns terror ) 〕 The 512-page English book version of the fatwa, ''Fatwa on Terrorism and Suicide Bombings'', (London: Minhaj-ul-Quran, 2011. ISBN 978-0-9551888-9-3) has a foreword by John Esposito and an introduction by Joel Hayward, both of whom share Qadri's scholarly assessment that, regardless of any intention, the evil of terrorism remains evil and must be exposed, opposed and condemned.〔(English version of published Fatwa on Terrorism )〕 The Fatwa on Terrorism has been officially endorsed by Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dr.Tahir-ul-Qadri鈥檚 Histroic Fatwa cetrtification from by Al-Azhar University )〕〔(Al-Azhar University Certification )〕 In January 2011, the fatwa was discussed at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Reality of Terrorism )〕 In June 2011, Pope Benedict XVI received a copy of the fatwa from representatives of Minhaj Interfaith Relations.
