It's something, I suppose

North American Islamic clerics have issued a fatwa pronouncing terrorism forbidden.

It's a start, I guess, but I can't help feeling like this is analogous to the UCC, Methodists, or Episcopoalians agitating for more civil rights for gays. The majority of Christians in this country stopped listening to them a long time ago for other reasons.

If an Egyptian or Iranian issued such a fatwa, then I'd start paying attention. But it is a nice gesture for all that.
