I just watched a clip by the Imam of Dar`a on Aljazeera. I can testify that he clearly seems to be a religious nut. I can see why Saudi Arabia and Qaradawi would be in favor of this guy. He spoke like St. Augustine (who used to swallow his food and not chew them because he did not want to indulge in any pleasures on earth: he wanted to save that for the hereafter. Of course, before he dedicated himself to his god, he indulged in earthly pleasures and admitted in his confessions that he would call on god to save him but...not yet (then): he said there are two trends: those who want the rule of God, and those who want earthly matters.
