For those who haven’t noticed, there are different types of Imams in the Islamic world, including the US:
1- Celebrity Imam: Very good speakers but lousy leaders. While they talk about improving communities, others are working hard doing it. They are more like cheerleaders: attractive, loud, boost morale, but for the real game they’re worthless.
2- Royal Imam: Mostly hired by governments, voice of the government. They represent powers and the wealthy, not the people and the faith.
3- Basement Imam: The dude who googles everything and learns everything on his or her own then comes up with his or her own bullshit. They’re like the MBA rejects who ended up selling Multi-Level Marketing scams, or more like the moron in Holiday Inn commercial who says “no, but I stayed at Holiday Inn Express last night!”
5- Haram (forbidden) Imam: Something really bad happened to these guys when they were young kids. These imams are obsessed with what’s forbidden to do and they keep telling others that everything is Haram until proven it’s halal.
6- Halal (permissible) Imam: These guys are high on drugs! Everything is permissible, everything is right, no one is wrong.
7- Money Imam: Want to cleanse your heart, get close to God? Come to our seminar and pay $150 for two hours!
8- Bandwagon Imam: Their sermons are news headlines. They lack creativity so badly that they can’t think of anything, so they end up talking about whatever it is that leads the headlines.
9- Nerd Imam: It’s in this book, that book. They keep referencing books because they can’t deduct anything on their own. And these books are mostly from a 1000 years ago.
10- Real Deal Imam: You heard their voice, you saw their face, and your soul knew these people BEFORE even you got to meet them or learn about them.

There is no mention of light bulbs in the Quran, although sometimes it does mention light.
