"In the US, 80 per cent of mosques are estimated... ...to be under the control of Wahhabi imams, who preach extremism

That IS surprising.. But I would also like to see substantiation given the source.. The Spectator sometimes gets it right, but more often stretch the reality, if not credulity..

I was startled by taht percentage, too, and noted that the source of that estimate was given as "the Sufi Hisham al-Kabbani, born in Lebanon and now living in the US."

I put his name, and Sufi, into google and got only this:

google.com

Here is the link to the Specator article itself, btw:
