‘In All Its Forms’

Islamic scholars in India organized a large meeting to “denounce terrorism:” Clerics denounce terrorism at Hyderabad meet.
The first clue that something isn’t right with this story is the phrase “in all its forms.”
Hyderabad, April 6 (IANS) A massive public meeting organised by Islamic madrassas here has condemned terrorism in all its forms and urged Muslims to develop good relations with other communities.
Uh oh. Whenever an Islamic apologist uses that phrase in connection with terrorism, you need to pay attention to what they say next.
Organised by the coordination committee of madrassas of Andhra Pradesh, the meeting, which continued till late in the night, said Islam or Muslims had nothing to do with terrorism and blamed government policies for terrorism.
While pointing out that Islam unequivocally condemned terrorism by describing the murder of innocents as the killing of entire humanity, a resolution passed at the event said the ‘repression on innocent people and injustice’ promoted terror.
See what I mean? The only “terrorism” they’re denouncing is the imaginary “terrorism” perpetrated against them.
