Peace vroom,

The points are good to discuss where we may agree or disagree, but the real problem comes when you wants another person to take a stance with you against him. To do this, one must have at least that much knowledge that Mufti Menk have. Like he is a degree holder in Shariah Law on the four Mazhabs from the University of Madinah Munawwarah, do we have similar degree?. He studied Hanafi Mazhab and also went to specialize in Jurisprudence from Darul Uloom Kantharia in Gujrat, India, have we specialized ourselves in something similar or equal to that? So if we don’t have that much knowledge then we may take what is seems good to us and shall leave what seems not good, depending on our understanding.

And yes it is all about our understanding that how we take his comments. Some takes his comments as ‘perfect’, some other take is as a ‘good’, some other take it as ‘bad’ and even some take is as ‘worst’. Again all depends on our understanding and again I say what is good take it and rest leave it and be happy, be kind with your GS neighbor (guppies) as you’ll be questioned by so called ‘moderators’ if you ever been naughty with them.

Good points. I’ll just add that before I pass any kind of judgement like vroom is doing, I’d want a scholar’s opinion to support it.

This pretty much says it all (who Yasmin Mogahed is): AlMaghrib Institute | Our Instructors | Ustadha Yasmin Mogahed

99% of us (I’m saying us because that includes me) do not have knowledge, nor are we interested in really gaining real knowledge. So one day a person is ‘liking’ one scholar and the next day a different scholar, not even realising that the first scholar’s stance is that the second scholar is a kaafir or practising bid’ah (it always make chuckle in a depressed manner when I see this).

The crazy stuff we are seeing happening in the world is via an ideology that is being spread as a wolf in sheep’s clothing in the west. Hence why it is important to know who you are following and what their real aims are.

Almaghrib? Wow…I seriously had no idea. And this lady Yasmin Mogahed has also a huge following on social media.

Here’s the link for those who don’t know much about the almaghrib institute.
AlMaghrib Institute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

AlMaghrib has received a significant amount of public scrutiny primarily because recordings of the highest English-speaking cleric in Al-Qaeda, Anwar al-Awlaki, continued to be sold at AlMaghrib events, even after they were banned by AlMaghrib in 2009.[SUP][8]](AlMaghrib Institute - Wikipedia)[/SUP]
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who in December 2009 attempted to detonate plastic explosives on board Northwest Airlines Flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit, once took a class at the AlMaghrib Institute.[SUP][9]](AlMaghrib Institute - Wikipedia)[/SUP] Abdulmutallab claimed that al-Awlaki was also a student at AlMaghrib.[SUP][10]](AlMaghrib Institute - Wikipedia)[/SUP] Yasir Qadhi, the Dean of Academic Affairs at AlMaghrib Institute, was quoted by CNN saying, “At some level, we did not convince him of the validity of our views,” and “that is cause for regret”.[SUP][11]](AlMaghrib Institute - Wikipedia)[/SUP]
Other controversial students include Daniel Maldonado, a convert who was convicted in 2007 of training with a group linked to Al Qaeeda militia in Somalia; Tarek Mehanna, a pharmacist arrested for conspiring to attack Americans; and two young American men held in Pakistan in 2009 for seeking to train with militants.[SUP][12]](AlMaghrib Institute - Wikipedia)[/SUP][SUP][13]](AlMaghrib Institute - Wikipedia)[/SUP]
AlMaghrib has been accused of being “liberal” and “apolitical” by other American Salafi groups. As a result of this external and internal scrutiny, AlMaghrib rebranded itself and moved away from the public use of the label “Salafi”.[SUP][14]](AlMaghrib Institute - Wikipedia)[/SUP]
