Today I watched PBS Charlie Rose Show. It featured author Khaled Abou El Fadl discussing his book "Islam and the Challenge of Democracy." Most notable statement from the author was: "Democracy is immoral in nature." Whenever Mr. Rose asked him a question, he hemmed, hawed, stammered and made sure his view was imparted on the viewers. If our form of government is so abhorrent to him, there are airplanes departing daily to the destination of his favored religious governing (and I would wish him a safe one-way trip).
