Tiger Tale Journal -- Cat Thoughts on Life, Religion and Politics

The greater part of what my neighbors call good, I believe in my soul to be bad, and if I repent of anything, it is very likely to be my good behavior. What demon possessed me that I behaved so well? --Henry Thoreau

Tahir Ul-Qadri False Prophet?

Tahir Ul-Qadri is a Muslim cleric who just issued a Fatwa CONDEMNING suicide-bombing and terrorism.

Why are his words not credible?

The cleric spoke of the "Anti-Christ." Since Muslims revere Jesus but do not believe in the "Christ" concept popularized by Pauline Christianity--why would he use such a term?

Even the term "terrorism" is a Western construct. Who was Ul-Qadri really addressing? What audience? Is it a ploy to gain power with pro-Western factions in Pakistan?

His words ring false. Utterly false. And if I, a Westerner, see it as false, how can it resonate within Islam?
