In light of the scandal of Rev. Ted Haggard (the former president of National Association of Evangelicals and the former pastor of New Life Church in Colorado Springs), what do the Christians and Muslims think of a spiritual leader (such as the pastor for Christians and the imam for the Muslims)? Are they, the spiritual leaders, above accountability?
Could the knowledgable Muslims explain the above in relation to the principle of "Maksum" [that is no one is immune (maksum) except the prophets, and therefore the imam will also be scrutinized by the law of the religion].
Thanks.
