Should any call for a Holy War be rejected?
“The majority of Muslims throughout the world will reject Osama bin Laden’s call to join in a holy war against the United States and its allies, Bay Area followers of Islam predicted Sunday.
“Osama bin Laden has absolutely no legitimacy whatsoever in the Islamic world, so he’s talking to the wind as far as I’m concerned,” said Maha Elgenaidi, director of the Islamic Network Group in San Jose.
Shahed Amanullah, an Oakland resident and member of American Muslims Intent on Learning and Activism, agreed.
“I’m confident that is going to land on deaf ears,” he said. “Bin Laden is happy with what happened in New York. That alone is enough to put him outside the Muslim community of the world.
“He’s just very obviously trying to paint this as a war against Islam — as if Islam is personified by him,” Amanullah added. “He’s going to see a very silent reaction from the Muslim world.””

Favorite Answer
I am comforted to know that most Muslims are aware that Osama bin Laden is not their friend.
Peace.
Edit: Yes, I would reject a call to war, unless it was in direct defense of my country. I do not consider “pre-emptive attacks” to be self-defense. The war on Iraq is WRONG.
