I didn't mean to kill the conversation, I just have reservations about inciting a mob of friendly fundamentalists to murder a mob of hostile fundamentalists.

Firstly, it's a very loose cannon to have on board your ship, and secondly it won't solve anything.

It will not stop or terrorism, it will not bring closure for the families of his victims, it will more likely make him a martyr.

I think also that the pronouncement of this fatwa will do true muslims worldwide a lot of harm. Not only will it turn muslim against muslim, it will be highlighted as a uniquely muslim method of conflict resolution, which will delight their critics.
