Top Sunni scholars sanction 'electronic Jihad'

Attacking American and Israeli websites by hacking and sabotage is allowed under Islamic law and is a form of 'Jihad' or holy war, top Muslim scholars have decreed.

The religious edict (fatwa) issued by a committee from the highest authority in Sunni Islam, Egypt's Al-Azhar University in Cairo, was published on the website of the Islamist Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood movement on Thursday.

"This is considered a type of lawful Jihad that helps Islam by paralysing the information systems used by our enemies for their evil aims," said the fatwa.

"This Jihad is not different from the armed one. In fact, it might be more important if you consider the global dimensions of the Internet.

"Whoever wins this war will become the strongest in the realm of information," the fatwa continued.

The Muslim Brotherhood praised the fatwa, which comes in response to dozens of questions from radicals asking to be allowed to destroy Israeli and United States websites.

Last week, the news website of Dubai-based Arabic TV network al-Arabiya was attacked by suspected Shia hackers, who posted a burning Israeli flag to the site.

Beneath the flag, a message in Arabic and English read: 'Serious Warning - if attacks on Shia websites continue, none of your websites will be safe.'

    I suppose it is hard for me to beat the "Religion of Peace" speaking for itself. The ugly head of true Islam- "kill, kill, kill, rape, rape, rape" in true Mohamedan style is exposing itself here! Bravo Mohamedans! Keep it up for the world to see you!

    No I have said the second part of the shahada too, that was when I was forced to do so and knew no better. I am confident that I know a lot more about Islam than you do. You see, I stopped believing in Mohamed and his imaginary Allah when I found out (from respected Islamic sources) what a pedophile, thief, rapist, highway robber and murderer your Mohamed was. So no thank you, I will never believe the second part of your shahada ever again.
