Khaled risking his popularity for seeking dialogue

Asharq Alawsat reports:

In the process, Khaled is telling the faithful something they're not used to hearing from clerics — that Muslims aren't blameless in the tensions, that the West is not always bad and that dialogue is better than confrontation.

"A young Muslim goes to Europe with a forged visa, takes unemployment insurance there, then goes on TV and says, 'We're going to expel you from Britain, take your land, money and women,'" Khaled said recently on his weekly program on the Saudi satellite TV channel Iqraa, trying to explain the mistrust of Muslims in Europe. "It's a rare example, but it exists."

Well, that's a beginning though a very modest one, and it demonstrates the insanity of the Khartoon Wariors more than anything else. Anyhow, some credits go to Khaled for not being completely insane.
