Un-progress
Yesterday I suggested the tide might be turning against "Islamapologism" but pointed out "a few bright spots probably do not signal a 'trend.'" Today, Steve Emerson at Counterterrorism Blog suggests one of those spots isn't so bright. The fatwa announced yesterday against "terrorism and extremism," which had the endorsement of major Muslim groups:
...is bogus. Nowhere does it condemn the Islamic extremism ideology that has spawned Islamic terrorism. It does not renounce nor even acknowledge the existence of an Islamic jihadist culture that has permeated mosques and young Muslims around the world. It does not renounce Jihad let alone admit that it has been used to justify Islamic terrorist acts. It does not condemn by name any Islamic group or leader. In short, it is a fake fatwa designed merely to deceive the American public into believing that these groups are moderate. In fact, officials of both organizations have been directly linked to and associated with Islamic terrorist groups and Islamic extremist organizations. One of them is an unindicted co-conspirator in a current terrorist case; another previous member was a financier to Al-Qaeda.
He continues:
I spoke with Judea Pearl, father of murdered journalist Daniel Pearl who told me that the fatwa was “vacuous because it does not name the perpetrators of Islamic terrorist theologies and leaders of Islamic movements like Yousef Al Qaradawi, Osama Bin Laden, Ayman Al Zawahari, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, etc.” Pearl told me that these groups are “trying to perpetrate a deception on the American public."
This makes me think: What's worse? The old - silence for which we didn't want to know the explanation - or the sham fatwa, which is all but an acknowledgement that the old silence meant what we'd hoped it didn't?
