I haven't read the entire Koran.

I haven't read the entire Koran.

I would be the last one to hold that against anyone. It's a tough read. Disjointed and repetitious enough to bring tears to your eyes. No textbook I ever read in college was as much of an effort to wade through.

I think that part of the whole "you need an Imam" BS is a cop-out that can be translated as, "I don't really get it, it's too hard to read, and I'd rather just let the guy with the beard tell me what it says."

Sheikh Abd Al-Rahman Al-Sudayyis is the Saudi government-appointed imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca. Themes of his sermons are characterized by confrontation toward non-Muslims. Al-Sudayyis calls Jews "scum of the earth" and "monkeys and pigs" who should be "annihilated." Other enemies of Islam, he says, are "worshippers of the cross" and "idol-worshipping Hindus."

Sheikh Muhammad Sayyed Tantawi is head of Egypt's Al-Azhar University, Sunni Islam's most prestigious establishment. Under Tantawi's leadership, Al-Azhar has declared jihad against the U.S. repeatedly, and has called for suicide attacks against American forces in Iraq as recently as August. He has called Jews "apes and pigs." CAIR invited Tantawi to speak in D.C. at its 10th annual dinner last month.
