Putting the Fatwa in a completely different light, and hopefully dispelling the common western misconception, Dr Tahir ul-Qadri, a prominent Islamic scholar has issued a comprehensive six hundred page ruling that says that Islam forbids the massacre of innocent people under any circumstances.
Dr Qadri has specifically set out to counter all of the documents and arguments that purport to justify violence and terrorism in the name of Islam. In its depth and coverage the new ruling closes loop holes and rules out exceptions that have been used in the past to justify violence.

"While most Muslim scholars denounce terrorism, Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri goes that crucial step forward and announces categorically that suicide bombings and attacks against civilian targets are not only condemned by Islam, but render the perpetrators totally out of the fold of Islam, to become unbelievers in the divine, pristine message of Islam. This empowering, unprecedented fatwa strengthens troops and civil society bodies that are engaged in counter terrorism operations, and expels terrorists from within Islam." – from the Minhaj-ul-Quran web site.

It's about damn time. :P
In all reality though, I don't think the hard core terrorists will pay much attention to this proclamation.

All claims to the contrary aside, there have been a number of statements like this one. I believe you are right about the hard-core terrorists, though...mostly because nothing they do has anything to do with Islam, and everything to do with naked and purely secular political power-seeking.
