Urban unrest spreads in France

"The country's biggest Muslim fundamentalist organisation, the Union for Islamic Organisations of France, issued a fatwa forbidding those 'who seek divine grace from taking part in any action that blindly strikes private or public property or can harm others'"
Of course the context may make a difference, but on the face of it this is a welcome addition to the file on Muslim attitudes to violence and seems to be a fatwa with force to address Al Qaida. But the devil may be in the detail.
