Where are those "moderates" we keep hearing about?

From The Brussels Journal:


On 11 September, the leader of the Norwegian imams Zulqarnain Sakandar Madni caused a controversy in Norway claiming that George W. Bush and the US were behind the 9/11 attacks. Moreover he denies that such a thing as al-Qaeda
exists, and he says the video messages that are said to be from
Osama bin Laden re recorded in a studio. The imam received support from other imams in Norway and ordinary Muslims in the street.

[Snip]

Imam Zulqarnain Sakandar Madni is not just any imam. He is the leader of the United Ulama of Norway (Jamiat Ulama-E-Norway) and is
supported by other imams, such as imam Hafiz Mehboob-ur-Rehman of the Islamic Cultural Center and imam Syed Ikram Shah of the World Islamic Mission. The latter claims that, even though the hijackers had Muslim names, the West cannot prove they really were Muslims. Another imam, imam Nehmat Ali Shah of Central Jamaat-e Ahl-E Sunnat points out that even after five years, nobody has been found guilty for the
attacks by an independent court, and therefore he cannot know whether the people responsible for 9/11 were Muslim or not.

I expect the 90% of Muslims who, we are told, are moderate and sensible to rise up and denounce this idiot.
