You don't just simply disagree with the principles of Islam. You are to be distinguished from one who simply disagrees. You studied the religion, you accumulated a vast bank of knowledge now, albeit your understanding of Islam has serious gaping holes. You then carefully craft an argument based only on olden day scholars from other countries who lived under the influence of tribal and cultural influences. You reject anyone who is an accepted and reputable scholar that has a less harsh interpretation of Islam, yet there are many!  You rely on unreliable authority. You refuse to even view the youtube links I provided for your education. What can be your motive? Because its the only way to vilify Islam. Rely on modern scholars who are not influenced by Arab tribal traditions and culture and your entire argument fails.

You are transparent. [/quote]
The issue isn't whether the scholars I quote are disagreeable to you. The issue is whether their rulings are based on the proper chain of evidence, i.e. Islamically valid.

I don't reject Hamza Yusuf, I just don't see how he's any better than Quaradawi just because you like him more. Does he have access to evidence that Quaradawi doesn't? Why is Quaradawi an unreliable authority? why is Bin Baz? why is bin Bayyah? Why? Because you don't happen to like them? But your affection isn't the yardstick here. Are they relying on proper evidence or not?

And yes, I've watched that link but got bored because there's so many like it. You think you're making a great discovery here or something?

I don't begrudge you the love of modern scholars, but your position that everyone who chooses to interpret Islam by the words of anyone who isn't Hamza Yusuf is Islamophobic simply doesn't work. Whatever did Islam do before Hamza Yusuf showed up?  Islam emerged among Arabs, was propagated by Arabs, was practiced by Arabs. They are wrong and you are right? [/quote]
