Salam to you too streetrayDio., You are a nice guy. Rascals building cults on internet., these guys lost their faith for no good reason and now they gang up on people like you. They are acting like Darwin's monkeys. Don't worry alsaeedm will teach all that they need to get back their faith. I was under the impression that you will do a better job than alsaeedm, but now I realize a nice guy like you will have no chance of educating this mob about Islam/Porphet/Quran.
well Islam in South Africa is quite famous streetray. Sheik Ahmed Deedat was a such a famous guy, you can not learn about Islam without reading him.
Sorry what i said about Hamza Yusuf was not hate but fact. The guy was a male nursing student and Indeed he charges quite a hefty amount if you want listen to his lecture. As far as research in islamic organizations concerned, I did that for a long time., to start with I learnt a bit of Shia Islam in home from mothers, aunts etc..., confused thoroughly and after that more from reading & thinking about Quran/hadith/Islamic history .
Now everything is very clear streetray.But Please realize Islam is different from Islam of Hamza Yusuf or Sheik Ahmed Deedat.
with best wishes
