I'd say this is a very good piece of news, if true. As a matter of fact, it could potentially be the beginning of something quite spectacular. (Via IMRA)

Al-Siyasah has learned that a new phenomenon has emerged in some Kuwaiti mosques. The worshipers have begun to reject the extremism that some imams express in their sermons and their advocacy of fighting the Americans and viewing them as enemies. Worshipers at a mosque in the Janub al-Surrah neighborhood interrupted the prayer leader Nabil al-Awadi when he began to call down imprecations on the heads of the Americans during last Friday's sermon. They demanded that he stop doing that. Friday worshipers at the A'ishah Habib Mosque in the Al-Jabiriyah neighborhood yesterday shouted the slogan: "O God, grant a lofty status to Islam and grant the same to the United States." They did this to express their opposition to the anti-American announcements that the mosque's imam was making.
