Should that be ok? It was endorsed by their leader after all.

A pretty weak argument.
My guess is that I have had the most exposure living and working with Muslims of anyone posting in this thread. I am with you on this one. My experience is that Muslims come in all flavors, just like Christians, Jew and Buddhists and most are not extremists.

As a note most of the Muslim men, I met had one wife...and she seemed to be the one really in charge. That phone would ring and you could tell by the look on their face. Not much different from our culture
