Press TV
Iranian TV is reporting that a Muslim Jurists (top judicial officials from Muslim countries) council is being convened in Tehran. But the important aspect is that they are trying to establish a "Permanent Judicial Assistance Council for Islamic countries". Given that Sunni and other non-Shia sects of Islam do not have a concept of a ruling theocracy such as the Shia, the responses and the future promise to be interesting. Mind you, almost every Muslim leader worth his salt has his/her pet Islamic jurisprudence council in almost every Muslim country such as in Egypt, Pakistan, Malaysia, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, etc. (Interestingly enough, did not find anything so formal for Indonesia) These bodies provide the proverbial fig (or was it vine?) leaf for the assorted manky decisions that they take. Will this body then become the fig leaf for the OIC, perhaps upgrade the FIQH academy?
Update: 31 July 2007. Here's a rather bitter denunciation of all the mullah's by a Saudi. Pretty sad state of affairs, no?
