I'm usually overwhelmed with Osama this and Amadinejad that, terrorizing this, blowing up that. I was just wondering if there are any Muslims who preach peace. I'm talking about people in the political, religious, or famous individuals who practice the Muslim faith
I don't count Yusuf Islam as he was for Salman Rushdie being killed or anybody else who thinks it's all-right to respond to an apostate with murder.
I also don't count any individuals who are part of the Nation of Islam as that's a whole 'nother issue in itself
Thanks in advance

Lexi- Don't get me wrong I've worked with dozens of Muslims and all except one was peaceful
What I'm asking about are public figures with either authority, political influence, or financial influence that preach peace.

um, Waleed Aly? he's an australian guy who sometimes writes articles in the paper? (in australia, i don't know where you are). Most muslims are pretty peaceful though
edit: i think it would be difficult to find influential peacelful muslims that are famous in the western world, seeing as it's mostly christian. but i read something about how a group of muslims sent a letter to the pope that was hoping for peace and understanding between the two religions, or something like that.

Stuck in the United States, I've yet to hear of Muslims who preach peace... I would dearly love to hear any Muslims who preach peace.
