Islam - Who's In Charge?

We are constantly being told that Islam is the religion of peace and that the majority of Muslims are "moderate". Acts of terrorism or any form of extremism practiced are done so by "radical" Muslims.

In this report, the AP let the mask slip a little and we see what main stream media and the politically correct have been denying for some time.

Terrorist attacks by al-Qaida and other militant groups add urgency to the ideological debate, which challenges the long dominance of Saudi Arabia's fundamentalist Wahhabist strain that has used its wealth and influence to mute moderate Islamic voices.

Which prompts Robert Spencer to note:

"Long dominance"? I thought that we were supposed to believe they were a tiny minority of extremists. It's funny how AP can acknowledge so breezily, as if everyone knows it, what the mainstream media and the Administration have been strenuously denying since 9/11: that the jihad terrorists have not "hijacked" the religion, but are in fact the majority view. How did so many hundreds of millions of people get their religion so drastically wrong?

How indeed?
