London , England ( CNN ) -- A Muslim scholar has issued a fatwa , or religious ruling , that says suicide bombers are destined for hell . Muhammad Tahir ul-Qadri condemned terrorism and criticized Islamic extremists who cite their religion to justify violence . Ul-Qadri 's 600-page fatwa is `` arguably the most comprehensive theological refutation of Islamist terrorism to date , '' according to the Quilliam Foundation , a London organization that describes itself as a counterterrorism think tank . `` Terrorism is terrorism , '' ul-Qadri said at a news conference hosted by the foundation . `` Violence is violence . It has no place in Islamic teaching , and no justification can be provided to it ... '' Ul-Qadri is the founder of the Minhaj-ul-Quran , an organization with hundreds of thousands of followers in South Asia and the United Kingdom , according to the Quilliam Foundation . The foundation refers to ul-Qadri as a mainstream Muslim scholar who is a `` widely recognized and respected authority on Islamic jurisprudence . '' He criticized Muslims who , in justifying terrorism , say it furthers the goal of correcting wrongs done to Muslims . `` No good intention -- even one thousand good intentions put together -- can not justify a wrong and forbidden act , '' he said . `` Good intentions can not convert a wrong into good . '' Some extremists have interpreted the Quran to suggest that those who kill in the name of Allah will be rewarded after death with 72 virgins and a place in paradise .
