Page "Fatwā" Paragraph 56

This can't be called a war in the name of Islam.

Even during a legitimate jihad, which is fought not by a rag-tag army of misguided youth but by the state against identified aggressors, Islam has set certain principles like you can't harm the old, sick, women and children.

You can't attack any place of worship.

But terrorists kill people indiscriminately.

They are earning Allah's punishment.
