A WORLD conference of Islamic scholars agreed today that Muslims should reject "narrow-minded interpretations, extremist ideologies and acts of terror".
"Wrong and deviated interpretations must be rectified by refuting it," said Malaysia's Nakhaie Ahmad, the conference's organising chairman.
One of the most influential Islamic leaders, Sheikh Mohamad Syed Tantawi of Cairo's Al-Azhar University also condemned attacks by suicide bombers.
He said groups who practised extremism and carried out suicide bombings were enemies of Islam.
How refreshing. I wonder how long it will be until some fundy muslim group puts a Fatwah on his head.
