The Global Imam Council, which represents 1,470 Muslim imams around the world, condemned Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel and endorsed a “fatwa” against the terror organization.

The GIC, based in Najaf, Iraq, condemned Hamas’ October 7 attack last week, declaring that it stands “with the Jewish people in their struggle against ISIS-like Islamist terrorism carried out by Hamas.”

“The Global Imams Council (GIC), our members, and the 800+ communities led by our Imams worldwide, abide by the Fatwa issued against Hamas by The Islamic Fatwa Council on 9 March, 2023, charging Hamas with corruption and crimes against humanity; forbidding Muslims from supporting, donating to, joining or praying for the terrorist organization. The GIC is proud to have proposed the Fatwa against Hamas to The Islamic Fatwa Council, and contributed to its Resolution Document that outlines the Islamic legal charges against Hamas,” the group wrote in a statement.

The GIC went on to condemn the “extremist and violent rhetoric” used by pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas protesters in the U.S. and Europe.

Tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters took to the streets across the world this past weekend, with many shouting slogans in favor of killing Jewish people.

    Incredible! We always ask after terror attacks “where is the Islamic condemnation?”, well here is definitely a serious condemnation from a significant amount of clerics. Kol HaKavod!

    This so-called “Global Imams Council” is tiny and completely obscure group based in Iraq. Its vice president is the Australian self-proclaimed “imam” Mohammed Tawhidi, who is basically a “Reform Moslem”.

    Isn’t every Muslim an imam? If so there are over 1,000,000,000 of them; so what’s 1,500?
