Stop Terror Sheikhs, Muslim Academics Demand

Update: 6/19/05
I wrote Ladybird the author of Baghdad Dweller about this issue and she is standing by this story. She said, and I quote:

"I know it was fake Aljazeera but the stroy is true"..."been published on many websites even Arabic about Arab Academic"

I personally am not completely convinced, the reader should make up his/her own mind

According to resent reports, the following story and link are fake and part of Misinformation propaganda campaign. The proof is in the URL which is www.aljazeera.com.
Hey no one is perfect... The question now is why was the following story important to them?

Original post: 6/17/05

"JEDDAH/NEW YORK, 30 October 2004 — Over 2,500 Muslim intellectuals from 23 countries have signed a petition to the United Nations calling for an international treaty to ban the use of religion for incitement to violence.

It also calls on the Security Council to set up a tribunal to try “the theologians of terror.” The petition is addressed to Secretary-General Kofi Annan, and to all members of the Security Council and its current chairman.

“There are individuals in the Muslim world who pose as clerics and issue death sentences against those they disagree with,” says Shakir Al-Nablusi, a Jordanian academic and one of the signatories. “These individuals give Islam a bad name and foster hatred among civilizations.”"
