I found a good post about Hamza Yusuf back before 9-11. Mashallah, brother was hardcore back then. I haven't listend to much from Hamza Yusuf of late, so I can't really attest to whatever "change" he went through after his meeting at the White House so many years ago. Umar Lee has more videos at ...

Atlanta Imam Accused of Molesting Boys
As a Muslim, I'm not even sure if I should be spreading this news.

American Militias
