UPI reports “About 6,000 Muslim clerics from around India approved a fatwa against terrorism Saturday at a conference in Hyderabad. According to the Fatwa “Islam rejects all kinds of unjust violence, breach of peace, bloodshed, murder, and plunder and does not allow it in any form.”
The report said there are “some thousands” of extremists active in Britain, who are mostly British-born young men of Pakistani and Middle Eastern descent between the ages of 18 and 30. Many of them, it said, are believed to have been trained in overseas terrorist camps.
“For the foreseeable future the U.K. will continue to be a high-priority target for international terrorists aligned with al-Qaeda,” the government report said. “It will face a threat from British nationals, including Muslim converts, and U.K.-based foreign terrorists, as well as terrorists planning attacks from abroad.”
