76. yes, that's certainly the narrative from dominant culture

but the whole point of religious rights is to protect views that aren't those of the dominant culture.

I don't validate jihadism as I too come from our dominant culture which rejects jihadism.
And I can't say I understand Islam and it's connection to jihad as a muslim might.

ul-Qadri's often quoted fatwa on terror suggests terror and suicide bombing certainly have no place in Islam. But fatwas are not much more than pronouncements of an Islamic scholar, and so there is possibility for a lot of what might be said to be small-grained or fine grained religious justifications that influence a small number of people who follow the fatwa with tremendous justification.

In these situations it's possible for me to imagine the person producing a fatwa as combination Charles Manson and Martin Luther (the German monk). The Manson side of the personality seems criminal, the Luther side merely extreme and out of the mainstream of his own religion.

What does that mean for a follower of such a person?
