Great! And very true, all Muslims should get closer to their religion, only this way they’ll know that Islam is all about modesty, and that extremism is anything but Islam.

I’m often skeptical of Hamza Yusuf and those who blindly follow him. However, sometimes he hits the nail right on the head.

I only recently heard of Hamza Yusuf, so I don’t really know much about him.

Anyway, I’d really like to know why you’re often skeptical of him.

Salaam aleikum,

a site that might explain why many Muslims might be sceptical of “Sir” Hamza Yusuf (especially when he was “spiritually advising” George W. Bush while Afghanistan was being bombed:

To my understanding, Kawarij are those who didnt accept that the calife Ali goes for a “referendum” with Mouawiya. When he did, they concluded that the sahabi Ali made a mistake and then every moslem who thinks that he has ability to manage can aspire to be a calife and the poeple should decide. To my point of view it a strong conclusion which could have lead us to democracy. Our fight should be focused on freedom and democracy. If the religious fact does not push to this direction, we should bypass it, and the religion must adapt and that will take time.
