And religious leaders are exactly like politicians. Politicians want one thing - power. Power enable them to have control of others. A lot gets trampled in the dust in the quest for power.... including the trusting "flock". People often confuse"faith" with "religion". That's a whole other topic, not for this thread, but they are very different things. Mosh - hear, hear!

I'd rather pay the heavy taxes of the western world and have my right to say what I like. This sort of thing doesn’t do much to promote Islam does it.
