who's extreme?
Reader comment on item: Radical U.S. Muslim Group Defames Moderate, Defends Fort Hood Attack

I followed the link to AIM, saw a condmenation of Zuhdi ("Zubi"!!!) and a video that defended Hasan in Fort Hood and even attacked CAIR for its statement of sympathy toward the victims.

AIFD calls AIM and CAIR extreme. AIM calls AIFD and Zuhdi Jasser extreme. Let's say that my own sympathies are in question. Why should I believe one side over the other(s)? Zuhdi says he is a devout Muslim. The AIM guy says that he and his like-minded (jihadist) group are devout Muslims and that Zuhdi is apostate. Where is the truth? What should I look for in order to decide? My question is not where to place my sentiment on Jihad; it is how to decide who is a proper, devout Muslim, one who understands Islam, and who misunderstands, who is apostate? Does it come to close examination of the Koran and other ancient and traditional sources? So be it, then. We must have this presentation/dialogue/debate. Otherwise, what is this all about?
