With reapect to the issue of Fatwa, I gave you where Islam stands. Are Muslims perfect in following Islam, NOT EVEN CLOSE. Don't we see people blindly following political leaders ?
Take elections for example, how many people do you think make informed decisions as oppose to blindly following a political party ?
Education is the solution to this problem. I consider myself to be educated and a student of Islam. I do not advocate violence. I condemn the violent acts of Muslims in the name of Islam. If Islam were to teach violence, there would be 1.6 Billion terrorist and the world would cease to exist.
With respect to the quote in the Quran, Chapter 5, Iyah 32, "if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people."
So Islam gives 2 conditions (Note that I mentioned "INNOCENT" in my post)
Murder - A person convicted of Murder is NOT an innocent person.
Spreading Mischief - That accounts to spreading trouble in the society. That is what is left for interpretation. Treason is a form of Mischief. Someone colluding with our enemies to damage our country is "Spreading Mischief". And frankly I would say that based on this paragraph, it is JUSTIFIED if the INDIAN GOVERNMENT were to hang all of the convicted terrorist.
