“Mosque pulpits in America are out of control”

Mansour Al-Hadj, Director of Reform at MEMRI, interviewed on Al-Hurra TV on August 24, talked about the problem of imams coming to the U.S. from the Middle East. Such imams, who are “ignorant of the values” of tolerance, liberty, and freedom of belief enjoyed in the U.S., spread the traditional religious discourse, he said. Al-Hadj called for imams preaching in America – “enlightened, tolerant Muslim Americans, who accept the other” – to be trained there, through the funding of Muslim societies in the U.S. ”Imams influenced by extremist religious fundamentalism should “step aside and make way for people with progressive Islamic ideas,” said Al-Hadj, adding that he hoped that “we in America will export [our tolerant] Islam to the Middle East.”
