I know Hamza Yusuf is a traditional muslim.....first his teachers are or were traditional and second they teach traditional Islam in California in Zaytuna.....like Imam Muhasbi Imam Tahawi......................Try reading shaykh Hamza Yusuf's " creed of Imam Al-Tahawi" an english translation of Imam Tahawi's 1200 years old book.
What exactly is your defenition of a "traditional" Muslim... I think your talking about something totaly different.
I cant keep typing the same thing over and over so go back and read what I wrote I again.
I may be a non practising touareg.
why does it matter?
just because I may or may not practice it does not mean I should not fight for the rights of touaregs.
thats strange....You are a tawariq and you don't wear your traditional clothes but you want to fight for tawariq's rights.
I never see a beardless man fighting for bearded man's rights but i often see beardless man justifying for shaving his beard.

i read it.........i think you are confusing traditional Islam with man made cultural laws in indo-pak.

I fight for christians rights in Pakistan too, but am not christian, women's rights but am not a woman.
I am opposed to people forcing or denying someone to do something. i would be just as opposed to ppl being forced to shave beards as I would be to people being forced to grow beards. same for Hijab. My mother does hijab and has done so almost all her life.

Everyone, we've gone miles off track here.
The subject was the situation at Lal Msajid and the kidnaps etc.
We can have another thread later as and if there are any developments. But in future discussions on the subject I hope we can focus on the issue rather than arguing over respective versions of righteousness and trying to correct or teach each other. There are plenty other places and threads where we keep doing that.
