Last night on 'Politically Incorrect', Bill Maher had the minister Robert Schuller on, and he made some exceptional points, surprising me, as I tend to be televangelist-proof.

The gist was we can quibble from here to forever on the bad parts of any religion but he prefers to dream about the possibilities ahead than the blame behind. He felt a chief positive that the Islamic world could achieve was the setting up of an ecclesiastic council that speaks for the whole.

Presently, there is no common center, which permits regional lessers to define how Muslims should act, and this permits a host of bad interpretations, particularly from extremists, who gain most of the publicity. Setting up a central council - and he suggests the Grand Mufti in Damascus as the world's leading Muslim - will provide a voice for the mainstream Islamic believers.

I think he nailed it.
