Ibn Taymiyya jihad fatwa (re-)interpretation

Tom Heneghan, Reuters India, Muslim scholars recast jihadists' favourite fatwa, 31 Mar 2010 "Prominent Muslim scholars have recast a famous medieval fatwa on jihad, arguing the religious edict radical Islamists often cite to justify killing cannot be used in a globalised world that respects faith and civil rights.

"A conference in Mardin in southeastern Turkey declared the fatwa by 14th century scholar Ibn Taymiyya rules out militant violence and the medieval Muslim division of the world into a "house of Islam" and "house of unbelief" no longer applies."
