Though Pastor Warren certainly has good intentions in reaching out to Muslims and his efforts are forgivable, it's naive to suggest that the Muslim Public Affairs Council is a moderate Islamic organization. Charles Johnson writes at Little Green Footballs:

MPAC's "moderation" is questionable, to say the least. A few hours after the 9/11 attacks, MPAC co-founder Salam Al-Marayati infamously told a Los Angeles talk radio audience: "If we're going to look at suspects, we should look at the groups that benefit the most from these kinds of incidents, and I think we should put the state of Israel on the suspect list because I think this diverts attention from what's happening in the Palestinian territories so that they can go on with their aggression and occupation and apartheid policies."

As you read the article, notice that the spokeswoman for MPAC is Edna Lekovic the former editor of The Daily Bruin, and editor of the Al Tahib, the MSA's publication at UCLA. While she was editor in the 1999 school year, she and her staff wrote:

When we hear someone refer to the great Mujahid (someone who struggle in Allah's cause) Osama bin Laden as a "terrorist." we should defend out brother and refer to him as a freedom fighter, someone who has forsaken his wealth and power to fight in Allah's cause and speak out against oppressors. We take these stances only to please Allah.

The Church is one of the last bulwarks against this type of nonsense, someone as powerful as Warren should definitely wake up.
