Hi. If you ever have time at a bookstore to page through some of Kabbani's books... you'll probably agree that he's not the *type* for wishful thinking. He is very high-brow, exceedingly intellectual, and very scientific in his orientation.

I am NOT arguing with you -- I am just sharing that I once looked at a number of his books, and he is obviously very intelligent and educated.

I don't know why some FReepers are bashing Kabbani here. He seems to be denouncing Muslim extremism and working with our authorities to his own peril. He may be wrong about the suitcase nuke threat, and I hope he is, but he seems right in his stance. If there were more Muslims like him, we'd have a much easier time rooting out the terrorist cells amongst us. We can't condemn Muslims who don't speak out while simultaneously condemning one who does.
