The Worst Persons in the World

Foreign Policy has the list of the worst religious leaders in the world. There are certainly arguments to be made about the inclusion (or lack of) of some of these guys, as well as the brevity of the list, but I had never heard of half of these guys. Which leads me to believe that there are many many many many horrible religious leaders out there.

I know, I know. Big surprise. But I don't generally dwell on how deep the pool of horrible religious leaders is. And, as Hitchens is wont to say, these guys often get away with more and gain larger followings by virtue of being religious leaders instead of being called out as the hypocrites, charlatans, and vicious xenophobes that they are.
