Jordan's King Abdullah II and the Aal al-Bayt Institute have created an important mechanism for bringing together representatives of divergent Islamic theological schools. The Amman Message, launched in 2004, should not be declared a panacea, but it has already made a contribution in the struggle to define Islam. It issued a document defining the Muslim concept of takfir—the act of declaring someone an apostate. While takfir is relevant to the argument of Islamic terrorists, the theology of jihad is central to their case, and a new document seeks consensus regarding jihad's definition and application
