Muslim-on-Muslim Strife in Stockholm

From MEMRI comes two articles detailing a hot controversy among Muslims in Sweden. A key high cleric in Stockholm says that the British were absolutely right, and in the right, in expelling what he called "preachers of hate" from their country. And then another Muslim, a journalist, charged that the leadership of the Great Mosque of Stockholm was in sympathy with the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.

This is the weirdest pot-calling-the-kettle-black story I've heard in a long time. And that this is the kind of tale they tell, clearly shows that at least some Muslims in Europe are worried about being painted with the same (camel's hair) brush with Osama bin Laden's "Base."
