On November 2, the Muslim Public Affairs Council held a meeting on the topic of extremism at the Islamic Center of Southern California in Los Angeles. About 50 people attended. Below is a report complied by Chris Chrisman, who attended the event. I will let the report speak for itself, but what was notable was the criticism of the Saudi and Wahhabist influence. Keep in mind that Chrisman, whom I personally know, is an expert on Islam and not one to be duped.
The official release of MPAC's statement has yet to appear on their website.
