Thank you for your question and interest to know about the Imams of muslims. There are misunderstanding and confusion in your mind about the word, imam. It is NOT equal to scholar. Imam's job is to lead prayer and reply to simple questions from the worshipers in relation to regular religious issues. So, accordingly his priority education should be QURAN AND OTHER iSLAMIC ISSUES. ON THE OTHER HAND, A SCHOLAR (SOME PEOPLE CALL HIM MUFTI) IS A PERSON WHO GIVEs opinion, advice and lead the people in various aspects of life and those people indeed are knowledgeable of most aspects of human and social sciences. If you listen to them, they are really worthy of respect even by non-muslims. The problem comes when imams start doing the job of a scholar so he definitely will give wrong opinion sometimes. There are a lot of efficient scholars but they are prosecute by the dictators in middle east (remember that all of the dictators are good friends of G W Bush) then imams take the job that they are not well qualified for.
