Subject: Fatwa declared against Coalition forces by moderate Islamist

Bin Laden must be laughing in either his grave or cave. His strategic goal
was to mobilise Muslims worldwide to heed his call for jihad. But his
apocalyptic nightmare initially fell on deaf ears. Then, leading Muslim
clerics cautioned young men not to be swayed by the calls for jihad from
fringe groups such as al-Qaeda and said that only legitimate institutions
and accredited scholars should be heeded.
Yet what was unthinkable 18 months ago has happened. The US has alienated
those in the Islamic community who were its best hope. The challenge now is
to limit the damage.
