angel16, being silly?, that's for god to decide, would it be best to just leave the imam alone and leave the issue to our muslim friends to ponder on.

it's just not nice to make wrong impression on some people (what more of religious figure) even if what they say is wrong, it's only part of what people have spoken and not the whole character though.

oh, these people are also god's representatives, would it also befitting, insulting them you may have insulted god in a way? btw, it's still god who'll make the justification in the end...

^_^ IMHO.
