Zuhdi Jasser has been on Glenn Beck's tv show several times. He is always very well spoken and denounces these types of muslims as people who are hijacking his religion.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has to have personal protection for his family and himself. These nutjob extremists can't be liking what he is saying.

"I'd rather be dead than removed from an airplane in handcuffs."

Too bad the TSA didn't think of that first.

There must be some sort of parallel effort to dumb down people who follow islam (especially in this country...

Where if they believe that when the next attack occurs in this country, that they will not suffer any serious reprisals...

You would think that some, like Mr. Jasser, would rally with him and get these types of imams to change their tune, before everyone suffers...

But as I figure it out...I do not think there is sufficient courage within the rank and file of the followers of islam to make those fundamental changes and condemnations...

This is the Minnesota Guys, right? and not the ‘six Muslims who were in the US Army who caused trouble on a plane and were removed.’?? Hard to keep the thug-groups straight, sorry.

Perhaps this was the reason why the Prophet Muhammad and his companions sought to avoid creation of the same religious intermediary class that today CAIR, the Islamic Society of North America, and the North American Imams Federation presume to fill.

Still upholding Muhammad as a righteous one. Not buying the good muslim spin. Muslims lie.

There may be moderate muslims, but there is no moderate islam.

The good doctor is a Trojan horse in our midst.

See tagline.

Some of us had CAIR figured out a long time ago.

U.S. Airways is adopting the Ann Coulter approach. Get the Muslims to boycott ALL the airlines and we can do away with passenger boarding security altogether.

Jasser may be a “good guy,” in that he wishes for reform and a more spiritual version of Islam, but I have two problems with him.

1) If Jasser is intelligent enough to be able to see through the motives of CAIR, why is he not intelligent enough to see the motives of Muhammed through an historical look at the man?

2) If Jasser says he has known 3 of the Flying Imams for a decade, then why has he waited so long to expose them?

And, in that article, he says Shahin told him that the imams went to CAIR after the plane incident. Frankly, I think they set it up with CAIR prior to the incident.

This is a good authoritative overview. Especially in naming the organizations involved. Like other posters I firmly believe the Flying Imams conspired with CAIR in advance of the cafefully-planned incident.

The author did cite that the obvious overreaching bullying by CAIR and the gang has given their victim-status a deathblow in public opinion and caused other muslims-in-america to backpeddle from them. However, as long as the Administration and various elected officials kowtow to them; as long as their Saudi gravy keeps flowing and as long as the lazy MSM keeps going to them for easy quotes they will not be going away.

Like everybody else here, I am sick and tired of this magical, wink-wink, nudge-nudge de facto exemption that mosques and black churches get from the IRS rules that enforce separation of church and state in our country and I would like to see this actually imposed evenhandedly for once.

The author makes clear—in case we did not already know—that there is no Vatican-style hirearchy in Islam and these islamist organizations are doing their best to try and impose one in America. I’m not going to pick and parse ‘ol Peace-be-upon-his-ass’s quotes, just say that there appears to be an opportunity in America for a democratic, secular, non-violent islam to evolve but a little enforcement action on the part of the gummint would be most welcom (i.e. kick out the foreign hate-mongers, crack down on the terrorist money-launderers and chop off the saudi wahabist tentacles).

At face-value, this seems like a well-written article from a so-called “moderate” Muslim. My suspicions are this: why the Hell did it take so long for him to voice his views and what are the motives for the “Middle Eastern Quarterly” to publish it? Something’s not right...

I really hate that I can read an article like this and be suspicious; I don’t want to be, however the events of the past 6 years (and previous, but esepecially since 9/11) and the deafening silence from the whole Muslim world, save this guy, force me to be.
