Saudi conference seeks to give guidance on Islamic fatwas
Muslim scholars from around the world gathered in Mecca on Saturday for a conference aimed at giving guidance on fatwas, the crucial Islamic legal rulings that guide the lives of hundreds of millions of Muslims.
The five-day Fatwa and its Regulation conference organised by the Muslim World League (MWL) was to address the crafting and issuing of fatwas in the modern age, when complex matters and the rapid dissemination of rulings over the Internet have led to contradictory and controversial opinions by those interpreting sharia, or Islamic law.
Conference organisers said they hoped to come out with overall guidelines for issuing fatwas, as Islam has no central authority to issue fatwas. more

Britain's a world-leader in sharia banking - but we haven't grasped the sinister and dangerous implications
What they refuse to acknowledge is the real price that is to be paid for this. They don’t understand that the spread of sharia banking in Britain and America is a significant part of the attempt to Islamise Britain and America. Acceptance of sharia finance furthers the Islamist objective of gradually legitimising Islamic sharia law more generally in the west. The point which is being missed is that all who use it must conform to the dictates of sharia law. Sharia financial institutions may not be making this clear now – they don’t want to frighten people away – but at some point that IOU of sharia-compliance will be called in. This is how sharia-compliance will be spread to both the Muslim and non-Muslim population. more

Muslim Unity = Islamic Union = Caliphate
The Islamic world's disunity and fragmentation is an even more urgent and vital problem that must be resolved. The fact that the Muslims have not been able to create a powerful and active Islamic Union is a major contributor to many of today's ills. When a strong Islamic Union is formed, such problems will either not arise or will be resolved far quicker than anticipated." more
