Tiny Minority of Extremists Update: this week I am speaking on college campuses where Muslim and Leftist students angrily lecture me about "hate" and insist that if there are any Muslim "extremists," it is a tiny minority that is twisting Islam's peaceful teachings and is rejected and abhorred by most Muslims.
And then the foremost, most respected voice in Sunni Islam, Al-Azhar University, has to throw a wrench into these students' propaganda machine.
"Egypt: Sunni scholars sanction 'electronic Jihad,'" from AKI, October 16 (thanks to C.C.):
Cairo, 16 Oct. (AKI) - Attacking American and Israeli websites by hacking and sabotage is allowed under Islamic law and is a form of 'Jihad' or holy war, top Muslim scholars have decreed.The religious edict (fatwa) issued by a committee from the highest authority in Sunni Islam, Egypt's Al-Azhar University in Cairo, was published on the website of the Islamist Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood movement on Thursday.
"This is considered a type of lawful Jihad that helps Islam by paralysing the information systems used by our enemies for their evil aims," said the fatwa.
"This Jihad is not different from the armed one. In fact, it might be more important if you consider the global dimensions of the Internet.
"Whoever wins this war will become the strongest in the realm of information," the fatwa continued.
The Muslim Brotherhood praised the fatwa, which comes in response to dozens of questions from radicals asking to be allowed to destroy Israeli and United States websites....
How is this allowed under Islamic "Law"? There was no internet back in the day.
It's just like the Saudis banning female automobile drivers........the prophet won't know what a car was until it ran him over.
......oh those crazy Sunnis......they kill me.....
What happened to my grammar in the last post?
darn i guess i'm going to have to finish learning hacking if this Sunni idiot says its ok to hack usa and Israeli web sites i assume its ok for the west to return the favor and crash their web sites
or i assume he thinks were going to be good little dhimmi's and just take his crap fatwa NOT
And the US is paying Egypt how many billions in aid each year?
Time to cut back the Jizya and launch a counter attack, as this is a declaration of war.
Time for 'Suez Crisis 2 - The Reckoning' :-
We reclaim the canal until they compensate us for the theft of it back in 1956.
Meanwhile, an interlude:

StephenA55,
The problem is it's likely Obama would double the foreign aid within his first year, independent of the Global poverty act. Such policies would have us standing still waiting for attack as opposed to a proactive approach. Not to mention strapped for cash for even basic budgeted items. Some ignorant or idealistically driven folk are about to learn a hard lesson in economics 101. And here I was worried about a cut in NASA funding. Space exploration will be the last thing on our minds when holding hands with Cults and their representatives, slaves and apologists.
"Whoever wins this war will become the strongest in the realm of information,"
Those who control the present can rewrite the past.
And the US is paying Egypt how many billions in aid each year?
77.8 million dollars a month for the past 30 years = 28 billion in jizya.
Your figures are low. Egypt has received nearly 70 billion dollars from the United States, and in less than the last thirty years.
