To be fair, all of the speakers seem more on the moderate side of Islam compared to other scholars. Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri is the scholar who issued an anti-terrorist fatwa. Also, WTF is the Archbishop of Canterbury doing in that line-up? If he wants "Peace for humanity" then I trust he'll stand on stage and condemn the killing and persecution of Christians in the Muslim world.
