Did it throw you for a loop that a Muslim leader might actually call his "own" on the carpet?
Does the leader of a muslim country = a muslim leader?
Musharaff may have physical control of Pakistan and so you can take his statements about Pakistan as indicitive about the direction the country may take politically or militarily, but there is no indication that he is in any way a spiritual leader in the muslim world, so there is no reason to believe that these comments are in any way indicitive of feelings in the muslim world or the way they may be moving. It would be like holding up John Kerry's stance on stem cells (should he become president) as an example of a Christian leader calling Christians to embrace technological advancements.
