Protestants believe in the priesthood of all believers. As Christ provided, we need no intermediary to commune with God. Exactly what Islam says - without the Christ part. What western press often call clergy are in reality Islamic scholars whose opinion carries weight but serve no religious function as intermediaries between the Islamic faithful and Allah.

So Muslims don't really pay attention to the folks issuing the fatwahs? Is that why Rushdie had to go into hiding?

#113 is tied in with this. I just do not believe Muslims view "priesthood" as Protestants view it. We are operating from much different foundations.
