How do I say this ...

The reason I posted this article was primarily because a number of people said that they were searching for Muslims who were ready to condemn all of the radicals, extremists, terrorists, true believers, or whatever else you want to call them. Here is an example of one who has the guts to talk about the true extent of the threat.

You want to regard his stuff as inconsistent with "real" Islam as defined by whatever standard you want to apply, that's fine. You want to believe Mohammed was evil, the Qu'ran teaches hate, that's fine. But here is one Muslim cleric who has the guts to stand up to the extremists and try to take back what he believes is the true essence of his religion.

You may disagree with him on the particulars, but I certainly don't begrudge him his goal.
