Interesting article. I found this part especially amusing: "it will soon require anyone who wants to study Islamic law and become a mosque preacher to first get a B.A. in something else, so mosque leaders won't just come from those who can't do anything else.". I wonder though, do priests and Rabbis fall into this category as well?
ETA: Those who study Islamic law usually go to colleges/universities to do that, after which they become scholars, not "mosque leaders". I think the article meant to say Imams.
