Official Saudi website for fatwas
Unlike Christianity which has officialdom (CofE Synod, Vatican proclamations etc) to offer "authorised" pronouncements, Islam does not have such accepted bodies. This enables the radicals to authorise their own interpretations.
Could this new website be the first step in such a process of regulating Islam? Would such as body help? Quote:

Interesting, both Egypt and the house of Saud vying to be the official voice of Islam. Some sort of counter to the Council of Guardians?
