Check the intellectual value of those reporting on the Middle East, by seeing what the Quran actually says about the mentality of the Arabs.  Historically, the Arabs fought against Islam while the first migration and Muslim community were the Christians of Aksum, Ethiopia.  Fatwas are a manifestation of Arab hypocrisy that contradicts Quranic Islamic Law.  The idiots pretending to be researchers, don't know the basics about the religion i.e. their reports are biased, unreliable, and blasphemous.  Here's the Quran verses they tried to hide: 

IQ check: "The Arabs are stronger in disbelief and hypocrisy and walled-off, that they don't know the limits of what Allah sent down upon His Messenger. And Allah is Knowing and Wise."- Quran 9:97

The Arabs say, "We have Faith." Say, "You have no Faith but are saying 'We have submitted'". And faith enters not in your hearts. But if you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not deprive you from your deeds of anything. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." - Quran 49:14
