.Morocco arrests imam for recruiting Iraq bombers
Moroccan police have arrested a Muslim prayer leader who is suspected of recruiting young men to be suicide bombers in the insurgency in Iraq, a newspaper reported Wednesday.
The imam, identified by police simply as Abdelilah according to Aujourd'hui Le Maroc newspaper, was arrested Monday in Tetouan, a city in northern Morocco near the Strait of Gibraltar.
Abdelilah preached at a mosque in Mezouak, a vast slum on the city's outskirts, exhorting Moroccans to "fight the American-Zionist occupation in Iraq," the newspaper quoted police as saying.

Finally some brave Muslims standing up and taking back their religion and reputation. You know if this were to catch on in just a few choice cities around the world they would cut the heart out of the terrorist recruiting. The main street Muslim community has to realize what damage the radicals are doing to their own community and stand up and be counted. They have much more to lose than we ever will.
