Fatwa Against bin Laden

I've been waiting a long time for something like this, so I'm going to publish it. Muslims have been far too reticent to denounce terrorism since 9/11. What these Spanish Muslims have done is what's been missing.
MADRID, Spain - Muslim clerics in Spain issued what they called the world's first fatwa, or Islamic edict, against Usama bin Laden on Thursday, the first anniversary of the Madrid train bombings, calling him an apostate and urging others of their faith to denounce the Al Qaeda leader.
I hope this is part of the tectonic shift.
