There has been no reply to my questions about the post I will quote here:
QUOTE VERBATIM FROM epr64:
Well, you could say the same in France during WWII. They murdered innocent people (not a lot, for sure). But they bombed trains, murdered collaborators, etc...
History is written by the victor. Nazi Germany was defeated, so the French resistants are no terrorists. What will happen in Iraq is still to be seen.
I think the fatwa is quite balanced. Military: legitimate. Civilians: illegitimate. Unfortunately enough, this fatwa was issued in the US, not in Iraq. THAT'S the place where issuing such a fatwa.
Just my 0.02€

I've asked twice on another thread for this poster to explain where this comes from and have seen no answer. Of course, maybe the poster comes to the forum infrequently; I'm not implying any reason for the lack of an answer. I am patient.
I am posting this thread so that epr64 can be reminded on occasion by me that the question stands about this quoted post. I am very interested in where the information and rationalization for this post came from. I see a potential debate here. I'll be patiently waiting. :duel
