Hi,

Thanks for your comments. I am totally against terrorism against innocents and the criminals and extremist who commit those despicable acts. Here is an interesting read on what my stand is and why I am committed to doing my part to combat terrorism.

As you can see, we have to win the hearts and minds of all Muslims away from that can of radical ideology of the minority and do our best to change the minds of the extremists one way or the other. Also, here is a good example of how we will win; this is one of the many service members out there fighting for us.

As far as fatwas go, I do not agree with these are any ones that promote terrorism. Here are some fatwas that I agree and are against terrorism and extremism.
