7. How true!
Edited on Sun Dec-02-07 03:22 PM by silverweb
U.S. Christist televangelists have been trending towards the authoritarian, exclusionary, and radical for some time now. On the other hand, this new young Muslim is injecting a voice of openness, tolerance, and moderation into the current dominant, fear-filled, radical strain of Islam. They're going in very opposite directions.

Also, I don't see any mention of where Masoud is doing it for money, especially since he's already got a "day job" that appears to be of the well-paying sort.

Maybe he is accepting donations and maybe he's not, but it's a completely baseless accusation to assume that he is demanding money the way our televangelists do and that "it's all about $$$$$."
