"Young preachers repackaging Islam; They tie in beach and barbecue with the Koran" by Jeffrey Fleishman, Los Angeles Times | January 4, 2009
CAIRO - .... If the West were to dream up its version of an ideal imam, he might look and sound like Mostafa Hosni, a 30-year-old former
So how much is the CIA paying him? It's non-official cover, right?
The West's picture of the Muslim preacher is often caricature: a bearded man in a tunic bellowing ancient verses and spinning asides about American imperialism.
Yeah, thanks to the Muslim-hting, Zionist propaganda we are unceasingly fed.
But that icon is changing as the image and message of mainstream Islam are softened to appeal to upwardly mobile, twentysomething followers less concerned with dogma than bleeping out life's annoyances on the way to success....
Now I know he's an agent!
Hosni's path is similar to that of other popular TV preachers, such as Amr Khaled and Moez Masoud, charismatic men who started in commerce and eventually were drawn to religious fervor and a desire to repackage Islam.
This brand of preacher has not eclipsed the influence of imams and clerics, but has forced traditional holy men to reckon with the power of the Internet and the allure of simplifying centuries-old texts to fit modern times....
Just like the MSM has to "reckon" with it!! Ha-ha-ha!

Abu Islam Ahmed Abdullah.... is a hard-line Salafi sheik, a man who dresses in gray tunics and whose wife is veiled from head to toe, including black gloves on her hands.Yeah, yeah, whatever.
My country leads the world in domestic violence, so I really don't want to point fingers!
"These new preachers are nice and pleasant, but they follow the line of the government. They are not preaching Islam. It's a sham," he said. "They are an extension of the Western conspiracy to influence the region. . . ."
Yeah, that was the SAME IMPRESSION I GOT from reading this piece of shit report in my Zionist War Daily!
