A declaração de Mecca

A declaração de Mecca foi assinada em 21 outubro de 2006, por 56 clérigos muçulmanos iraquianos ( Sunni e Shi'a) sob os auspícios Organização da Conferência islamica. É uma condenação dura em termos religiosos do terrorismo ao estilo da al-Qaeda islâmica, mas permanece ignorada.
A declaração de Mecca vem na sequência da fatwa de 11 de março 2005 por 41 clérigos muçulmanos em Espanha; (b) da fatwa de 30 de março 2005 dos muçulmanos contra o terrorismo (FMAT) em Washington; e a fatwa de 17 Maio 2005 por 58 clérigos, juristas e professores do Paquistão.
