Islamic scholar’s ‘fatwa’ criticising October 7 attack echoes growing unhappiness in Gaza towards Hamas
The fatwa says the October 7 attacks broke Islamic law which forbids harming civilians, including women and children, during war.
Always helps to read further down the article:
As a Salafi, Dayah is part of the larger Sunni tradition. One explanation for his fatwa might be that he is attempting to reaffirm Sunnism or Salafism within Gaza, by dividing its citizens on their support for Hamas and its ties to Shia-ruled Iran
I often wonder what the world would look like if Sufism were the dominant doctrine.
A lot more dancing?
Will never work. The Middle East is always a Warzone.
But more importantly, this fatwa is self-serving and really isn't about October 7th from the sound of things.
