On September 20, 2001 -- just nine days after the deadly attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon --
Shaykh Hamza Yusuf was the Muslim representative in a small ecumenical gathering held in the Oval Office.

Shaykh Hamza Yusuf

since he had declared two days before the attack: "This country is facing a terrible fate....This country stands condemned. It stands condemned like Europe stood condemned because of what it did -- and lest people forget that Europe suffered two world wars after conquering the Muslim lands."

Bay area suburbanite helps meld Muslim faith, modern culture

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL HAYWARD, Calif. —

When Mark Hanson was a 1970s teenager growing up in Marin County as the privileged son of a college professor and a liberal activist mother, he barely escaped serious injury in an auto accident. Baptized Greek Orthodox and attending Catholic high school, he began to explore Buddhism, metaphysics and other philosophies. He read excerpts from the Quran, and he decided at 18 to become a Muslim, taking the name Hamza Yusuf.

The same day he visited the White House, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents knocked on the door of his home in California to quiz him about a speech he made Sept. 9 in which he said: "This country is facing a very terrible fate. ... This country stands condemned. It stands condemned like Europe stood condemned because of what it did — and lest people forget that Europe suffered two world wars after conquering the Muslim lands."

Mr. Yusuf says he regrets those remarks and some other strident speeches he made over the years. "Anger is a dangerous emotion and not a part of the Islamic tradition," he says. "There are Muslims in the community whose anger has led them to do some pretty horrendous things. That's a problem, a horrendous problem. I don't want to contribute to that."

I think this would all be a little clearer if we knew what sort of behind the scenes deals were made by clintoon and his cronies with these clowns from muslickyland its probably very hard to tell what kind of slimey deals clintoon had brokered after 8 years of lies deceit and traiterousness.

Now G.W.B. has got to figure out a diplomatic way of Unbrokering deals in order to save face for our nation without showing his teeth toward other countries who were ,may be or inadvertantly involved with 911.

They dont think the same as we americans any sign of weakness and your considered a coward and as follows a leader being a coward they consider the whole country as cowards as well. I think they have a lesson to learn about G.W.B.and The American people Especially those who serve christ first and man last

G.W.B. im with him but like him Our beliefs should be in christ not him hes just a man doing a great job of keeping us as safe from harm as possable if he screws up well we can be his harshest critics but when he does well we should be the first as a nation to say good job and a hearty pat on the back for a job well done

Make sense?
