Muzammil H. Siddiqui, its former chairman, was " on behalf of all members of the Fiqh Council of North America," one of the 138 signatories of the open letter A Common Word between Us and You (English A Common Word Between Us and You), the personalities of Islam to "leaders of Christian churches everywhere" (English " leaders of Christian churches, everywhere ... " ) submitted (13 October 2007).

"There were good reasons that, before the invasion of Afghanistan prompted the top Muslim cleric in the U.S. Army, Major Abdul- Rasheed Muhammad, seek supreme council, whether Muslims are allowed to lead war against Muslims. The Muslim Fiqh Council of North America issued a fatwa that this is allowed: " All Muslims must be united against those who terrorize innocents, and those who permit the killing of civilians without just reason.
