The comical side of the Al-Faisal show

In an interesting twist, to borrow a clichÈ much beloved by broadcast journalists, Kenyan Muslim leaders have now washed their hands off controversial Jamaican preacher, Sheikh al-Faisal.

Indeed, after the violent clash outside the Jamia Mosque, the leaders made it clear they had nothing to do with the hoodlums who engaged police in a vicious stone throwing match or the infamous Sheikh in who whose honour the battle was waged.
