An imam in Mali is living in fear after backing a new family law which no longer obliges wives to obey their husbands, angering Muslim groups.

He has received threatening phone calls and local Muslim leaders have tried to dismiss him

Eventually the Muslim mindset will clash with the left wing mindset. I’m all for them hashing it out on their own (you know, the ‘enemy of my enemy is my friend”) . . .but you just know they’ll drag our rears into it. We always have to bail one (or both) out even if we don’t want to.

The moderate Muslim majority will back him up right? /s

Eventually the Muslim mindset will clash with the left wing mindset.

I very much doubt it.

Most of them will morph into muslims with hardly a backward glance.
