A while back I said that in view of some of th ematerials in Muslim faoundatinal documents it would be helpful for us who are not Muslim to have some kind of authoritative declaration which gave a clear steer against terrorism; a fatwa, for example against Osama bin Laden, for example. Well, it appears that we have one. I'm not yet sure of its status though as "the fatwa had moral, rather than legal weight and would serve as a guide for Muslims".
However, since Salman Rushdie had fatwas against him it is helpful to know that there is at least one on bin Laden.
Islam :: Spanish Muslims issue 'fatwa' against Osama Bin Laden: "the fatwa had moral, rather than legal weight and would serve as a guide for Muslims."
