@shortstories There are no clergy in Islam.
@shortstories A Mullah is no more a clergyman than a Rabbi. I'll not quibble about this any further though because it's really a question of whether or not someone who serves a group of people based upon a scholastic education is a clergyman, but there is a very clear distinction between the Christian idea of a clergyman with a defined hierarchy and a Mullah or a Rabbi. Perhaps I should have been more nuanced in my original reply.

Mullah (/ˈmʌlə, ˈmʊlə, ˈmuːlə/; Persian: ملا, romanized: mullā, mollā) is an honorific title for Shia and Sunni Muslim clergy and it is also an honorific title for a Muslim mosque leader.[1] The term is also sometimes used for a person who has higher education in Islamic theology and sharia law...
The title has also been used in some Mizrahi and Sephardic Jewish communities in reference to the community's leadership, especially its religious leadership.[2]
