He is too much of a western puppet in my opinnion! He doesn't have the guts to speack out against injustice - but nicely plays along to what ever he's told to do by the great powers of the west. Pity!
He's kinda like a 'dictator' in the sense of his position as mufti lol - he doesn't allow for a change someone perhaps with more knowledge and less of a link to the west!
But that's just me!
Oh yes and during the war while my family and I were refugees at his mosque in Zagreb - he kicked us all out into the open elements and we didn't even have anywhere to go until the humanitarian organization and the "arabs" found us a place to stay!
That I will never forget!
