Abou el Fadl: A Great Scholar and Moderate Muslim
Reader comment on item: Conference of the Books: The Search for Beauty in Islam

I'm dismayed that Khaled Abou el Fadl has been called an extremist. Why does Abou el Fadl need professionals to guard his home? Clearly because he is a target of extremists who use the cloak of Islam. ... The man is the furthest thing from an extremist.
