The war on terror has made Yemen's gun problem a global issue — evidence suggests that Yemeni arms dealers have supplied Islamic militants in Saudi Arabia and beyond. After 9/11, the Yemeni government, a U.S. ally, cracked down on the local gun trade and began buying back guns from tribes. Last year, it closed arms markets and banned Yemenis from carrying guns in cities.
Marwani, meanwhile, has widened his organization's remit from tribal violence to Islamist extremism. "The terrorists convince people that if they blow themselves up, they go to paradise," he says. "We sell people paradise through peace."
A recent morning found him talking with hard-line Islamists about the Danish cartoon issue. "I told them that in Europe people can criticize anything, even Christianity and Judaism," he says.
A Sufi, Marwani uses the messages of Islamic mysticism to convince militants that Islam preaches peace. But on the subject of extremists, he can sound like a Washington hawk. "We need to capture all the scholars who are preaching violence, and, if we must, even kill them," he says. "Their danger is that they can affect the whole country." Recently, he confronted a firebrand preacher who had exhorted Muslims to kill Christians. "Do you believe Allah is wise and that all things come from Allah?" Marwani asked. The preacher did. "Even that Mercedes you drive?" the sheik pressed on. "Because if you kill all the Christians, there won't be any of them left to build Mercedeses."
