She is translating the Qur'an although "[s]he does not speak Arabic." And Neil MacFurquhar decides to interview "The leader of the North American branch of a mystical Islamic order, Sheik Muhammad Hisham Kabbani." Kabbani is a graduate of AUB with a degree in chemistry. After Sep. 11, when he became a (buffoonish) cheerleader for Bush and his wars, Paul Wolfowitz invited him to the Pentagon (and presumably authorized him to issue agreeable fatwawawas) where he started speaking on Islam at right-wing fora and on right-wing shows like Michael Savage, where he and his religion would be mocked to the amusement of listeners. Oh, and Kabbani has one follower (counting himself).
