In a show of solidarity, a Sunni council has issued a fatwa that outright condemns terrorism and sectarianism.

Such initiative, although not completely new, is however the largest and most significant at present.  

Several ulemas have applauded the effort.

The condemnation is a reiteration of the Islamic belief that killing innocent people is a sin, and violate the sanctity of holy places.  

The group has also exhorted other religious scholars and figures to adhere to the plan, by issuing indipendent fatwas, so that the killing of innocent people will be stopped.
