Holding onto the Rope?

Found this over at Asif Padela's blog (http://khamriyah.blogspot.com):

AMMAN - (JT) - Leading clerics on Wednesday endorsed fatwas (religious edicts) by top Muslim authorities forbidding the declaration of any Muslim an apostate (takfir).Concluding their three-day International Islamic Conference in the presence of His Majesty King Abdullah, the clerics issued a joint statement that forbids declaring any adherent to any one of the eight schools of Islamic jurisprudence an apostate.
