Wise Beyond His Years

Young Muslim American Slams Toulouse Terrorist, Saudi Mufti
by Chana Ya'ar Young Muslim American Slams Toulouse Terrorist

A letter written by a young Muslim American slams the Toulouse terrorist, and a fatwa by the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia.

The 11-year-old writer, who sent his letter in an exclusive email to Arutz Sheva, wrote, “Last week, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabi made a silly fatwa, or religious verdict, which stated that all churches in Arabia should be destroyed. Then last Monday, a young Muslim was taken into custody as the key suspect who opened fire into a Jewish school in Toulouse, France, killing three children and a parent.”

(Ed. Note: As do many children, the young writer confused his facts on the Toulouse terrorist, who has confessed to the murders and at this moment is under siege, trapped by police in an apartment building, but not “in custody.”)

"I can say with certainty that even a kid would find such acts to be outrageous,” the writer's email continued.

"To the Mufti, I say that my holy book the Quran tells Muslims to actually protect all places of worship (22:40-41). It mentions in the verses churches and synagogues by name. In fact, they are listed first, before mosques.

"To the crazy gunman who shot innocent schoolchildren, the Quran warns that “whosoever killed a person... it shall be as if he had killed all mankind (5:33).

"So to my fellow Muslims, let's speak up against the Mufti's madness and the gunman's hatred. They both need to go back to grammar school to learn the basics about Islam.”
