A NYT article, "Muslim Clerics seek a Modern Middle Ground" today:
"[Shaykh Hamza Yusuf and Imam Zaid Shakir] have...become leading intellectual lights for a new generation of American Muslims looking for homegrown leaders who can help them learn how to live their faith without succumbing to American materialism or Islamic extremism...Their message is that both Islam and America have gone seriously astray, and that American Muslims have a responsibility to harness their growing numbers and economic power to help set them straight."

Salaam 'Alaikum
Everytime I read the article or an excerpt I find something else wierd about it... I do not believe for a second that either sheikh is saying "Islam" has gone astray. Audhu billah. -- UZ
I agree: Audhu billah.
