Why would anyone issue a decree for that? It is common sense and if anyone requires a fatwa for it, he/she has some major problems in comprehending the gift of life.

i think it has to do with the fact that most Terrorists(Al Qaeda, Taliban, ISIS) only reply to governments when there is an islamic fatwa or it is issued to tell regular muslims who are religious that it isn't wrong to kill terrorists like them as they have violated the laws of islam

like the time when some terrorists stormed and took over the grand mosque and the saudi's had to require a fatwa to encourage most of them to lay their arms down and surrender and also encourage the average person to not block them in getting the grand mosque back from the terrorists (most of the ulama from some university was against the saudi's proposal of taking it back by force and were not willing to issue a fatwa)

Thank goodness. This is necessary especially in a day and age where people are being misguided by hate preachers.

I can understand where you are coming from but people need to realize that Islam has no Papal system. As far as the grand mosque episode is concerned it was nothing but an attempt at a coup and the grand mosque presented or still presents a perfect opportunity for it.

No Muslim requires a fatwa to tell him that killing innocent people is a sin of the highest order. these terrorists are nothing but a political tool where dumb deaf and blind are being flocked and steered by power hungry nut-heads.

 

[Well.wisher]

They should also give fatwa that one who tries to create differences between sects in pakistan should be dealt with prison .

Not going to happen, ever.
wahabism is growing extremely fast and it is the only sect that discriminates against other sects IMO
I know this because i grew up as a wahabi

even the so called peaceful tableeq e jamaat who come up to our homes take us directly to mosques that preach Wahabism here in Hong Kong

Wahabism is respected because saudi's practise it and people believe saudi's are the chosen ones....

Took them like 17 years to figure this out? 17 years or so of mayhem.

The Muslim "ulimah" are themselves a failed body.

Their incompetence has breed this new evil breed of tekfiri khawarji.
