== Maajid Nawaz ==
So there have been many, many such fatwas or pronouncements against suicide bombings. In many cases, they're not reported. There does need to be more. However, I'll give you an example of why, in some cases, there aren't more. Now, recently, we at Quilliam publicized a fatwa by Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri against terrorism, no ifs, no buts condemnation of suicide bombing and terrorism that Douglas -- always a pleasure to speak with you on the panel -- supported and was quoted in the press as supporting Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri's fatwa against terrorism. Now, the reason why there aren't many more such examples, though there are quite a few, is because prior to Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri issuing this fatwa, his colleague, who was also from the same way of thinking, was assassinated in Pakistan, was killed by a suicide bomber in a mosque where all the congregants who were praying were also blown to smithereens because he had the guts to simply give a sermon in that mosque condemning suicide bombings. And so this is why many people are scared, because it takes guts, I tell you, to go into Pakistan and try and challenge these extremists. That's a country that doesn't have much rule of law. It's a country that's struggling against the so-called Pakistani Taliban from taking over a third of their country. And they're fighting that fight on the front lines. And there are those who are brave enough just to give a speech to condemn terrorism, and they're blown to smithereens in their mosque while praying.

== Douglas Murray ==
I did. It's the only time I've ever done a book review of a fatwa. The -- I'm sorry to say, Maajid, you seem to have just proved our point.

== Douglas Murray ==
Is it -- I mean, this is a very important and a very interesting question why more people don't stand up. I much admire Tahir-ul-Qadri for that fatwa, as I have other people who have stood up. For the number of times I have spoken behind closed doors and so on, and you say, why aren't you saying anything, they say because if I do speak up, I'll be killed. Well, I address you again, ladies and gentlemen, to the motion.

Why there is so much music in background which distract to take this video as serious as it needs? If you have a version without music please email it to me at hammadsabri at gmail dot com.

"One of the true tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency, and genius like Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri deserves Noble Prize for Peace and Truth , because he is defending Truth and daring to lighting the torch of peace , no doubt highest reward for his noble cause is only experience and understanding of peace and love while presenting Islam

[shihouka]

You do realize that the fatwa you copied in your video description got all those people killed? Right?

You shouldn't have excluded that part of the discussion just to make a point.

@Mike51020 The Qur'an's stance on compulsion in religion goes far, far, FAR beyond 2:256. So I guess you can imagine that huge stretches of the Qur'an are "abrogated" if you like...

It's strange - I can't tell if you are Muslim or anti-Muslim; your opinions in this comment are shared by Ayaan Hirsi Ali and people like her! Salaams either way ~

Surah 2:256 is Abrogated by At-Tawba aya 5, this is the opinion of Al-Nisaburi, Hebatuallah Ebnu Salamah and Mar-e Ben Yousef Alkarmy, so even at 1:00 you are lying in your video (plus music is Haram). Nobody should listen to you.
