Credit where credit is due -- I.

A Melbourne, Australia, Muslim cleric infuriated two members of an alleged terror cell because he had been preaching that Osama bin Laden is "on the wrong path." They also thought that this cleric might have been informing the police on the activities of the cell. [1]

The Colonel has little faith in the desire of the alleged moderate Muslims to cooperate with police in ferreting out infestations of Fuligo septica jihadi barbatus but clearly -- contrary to all the Colonel's beloved assumptions -- here is a Muslim leader in Australia preaching sense and possibly working against the jihadis.

The Colonel salutes the man and will report any others like him whenever it's break time and any of the staff helps him out of his funny white coat.
