The L.A. Times has posted an article about a Muslim evangelist http://www.latimes.com/...
He has 2.6 million fans on facebook.
Amr Kahled is the Arab world's most successful televangelist, a charismatic guide for millions of Muslims.
Later in the article, we learn:
Khaled does not have the religious credentials to issue rulings on what is or is not permitted under Islam. His preaching takes the shape of a conversation that invites, not orders, listeners to follow the tenets of his faith.
A month ago, in my book The Middle East Revolutions (A Framework for Analysis), I predicted that Muslims would soon be experiencing spiritual awakenings just like this one.
