Interview with a "moderate" Muslim American

Over at CUANAS there’s a post titled “the Moderate Face of the Next Generation of Muslim Americans”.

Meet Imam Sheikh Ahmed Dewidar, whom
Egypt Today calls "the face of the next generation of Muslims in America." He is praised for "moderate views and vigorous efforts to reach out to mainstream America, so necessary in today’s polarized atmosphere." He rubs shoulder with Kofi Annan and George Bush. He's an up and comer in the American Muslim community. Yes, that's for sure.

The piece then goes on to detail an interview Dewidar did for an Egyptian program, certainly not intended for American audiences. Go read it… it’s a real eye-opener. It takes him a while to get warmed up, but he ends up spouting some decidedly un-moderate ideas.
