   Hundreds of thousands of fatwas have been produced, and continue to this day, says Linda Clark, a professor of Islam at Concordia University in Montreal and a board member of the Lebanese Islamic Centre in Montreal.
   
   "People are continually asking their scholars for fatwas," she says.
   
   "There is a constant stream of fatwas, including a stream to North America to guide the people here." Muslims are also compelled to accept them, says Clark, if they follow the particular cleric who issued it.

   The Lebanese Islamic Center's Linda Clark told reporters at the press conference that the edict means it is a sin for Muslims in Canada to act against the fatwa, which is a legal opinion or ruling issued by an Islamic scholar. They are urged to "protect the country they are living in and they must not let it be exposed to harm in any way for they are guests of that country," said Clark.
