My fatwas are for supporting, promoting and protecting life. And I never ever give a fatwa that has to do with death and killing. Perhaps there were some resolutions at conferences that I was involved in that denounced [certain policies, such as,] for instance American occupation or Israeli occupation [of other lands], but I don\u2019t believe that denouncing occupation is a fatwa to kill anyone. In fact, I can never recall giving a fatwa that harmed anyone let alone that was calling to anyone\u2019s death. I call to life! I call to life! I don\u2019t call to death, I don\u2019t call to kill anyone, and if anyone claims this or are making allegations, let him bring his proof.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"display: inline !important;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"display: inline !important;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em> <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/binbayyah.net\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/CNNinterviewTranscript-V4.docx\">For the complete interview, click this link<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the CNN Interview with Shaykh Abdullah Bin Bayyah&#8230; Question: &#8220;To some Sir, in the West you are a controversial Muslim leader, the allegation is that you signed a fatwa post 2003, on killing US soldiers.
