Al Qaeda Condemns Militants Who Rejected Violence

The most recent renunciation came in 2007 from Sayed Imam, once a top leader in Egypt's Islamic Jihad group and an associate of Al Zawahiri.

Imam's writings in the 1980s laying an Islamic legal basis for violent action against "infidel" regimes, were highly influential among Al Qaeda militants. But his "revisions" argue that such violence is banned under Islamic law.

This is EXACTLY what needs to happen for the west to ever win the "war on terror". There will always be violent people that kill others for whatever reason. But we have to beat the "reasons" or "arguments" that justify the violence. The voice of Islamic leaders that denounce violence must be louder than the voice of the militants. Hopefully that is starting to happen now....
