i would say the difference is of understanding the situiation, we as laymen all to often see the imams not getting paid well, so i would agree with molana e-teacher that the pay of the imam should be well above average, but at the same time the imam all to often we see day in day out in many masjids pray thier salat, might do taleem even that because the tj's put them on the spot and then walk out of the masjid to see the wife and kids, but they dont get involved with the people, in my masjid we have to sort out people who start fitna, got problems, sort out janaza salats and the imam mashallah is nowhere to be seen, we had 1 imam regardless of pay he used to give time day in day out because he had that worry and concern, so i would say its all about the concern they have, look at the tj's no matter what you say about them they give time have worry and concern day in day out, thats what you call dedication (no need for the wooly's) to comment on that point.
