Hamza Yusuf and Siraj Wahhaj will be on 60-minutes today (CBS Sunday, Sept. 30) insha Allah.  I think it's at 7 pm EST.

Insha Allah, make du'aa that Allah help them say the right thing.

I trust them to say the right thing bi'ithnillah, it's how the media will cut and paste and present it i'm worried about.

slm,

well jannah you were right.. they did cut and paste... even though the panel all gave good responses, cbs being its biased conservative self cut it all short and downplayed the good in it all ):( ... like at the end HY was making a good point about how it was a jihad for muslims to rid ourselves of the twisted 'extremeist' way of thinking... and before he even started explaining it, they cut it off at that sentence and that was the end of the segment. ):(

they basically took like 3 hours of interviews and cut out all the good stuff and it was all about 5 minutes.

ed bradley is a dork ;-D

slm,

I thought it was still pretty decent, except when that one guy (can't remember his name--he had the white beard) was trying to explain how some of this may in part be due to America's foreign policy and the guy was all..."So you're saying America DESERVED this??"  "Oh, you mean we're an accessory, like we contributed to it??"  If you would just shut up and let the guy explain himself maybe you'd understand!  And then of course they cut the brother off before he even got into an explanation so we were all left with this feeling of.. "Hmm..that guy thinks we deserved this!"

But besides that, I think they spoke well.  I wish Imam Siraj got a little more air time though..

Take Care,
Wassalam,
Nazia
