America produces its own version of Islam: try this

"The US has created a new unit in Pakistan that aims to leverage such grassroots efforts by working with local moderates to counter violent extremism - the first of its kind set up by an American Embassy anywhere in the world, according to US officials here. The existence of the unit has never before been reported.  Mr Rehman and other clerics attempting to challenge extremism in Pakistan recently met with US Ambassador Cameron Munter in Islamabad, though the 50-year-old Mr Rehman says he has not yet received support from the Americans."  Only in Pakistan?
